No way. Geodon already received one extension for 5 years which takes it to March 2012. Approval for use in children and teens was recommended for approval by the advisory panel, but the FDA shot it down. Pfizer actually self reported a problem with the clinical study, and the FDA found a little more dirt, and then made Pfizer look bad in the process. They should've kept their mouth shut, it ended up being 20 kids who were taking to high of a dose, Pfizer re-trained the study investigators, but they kept screwing up.

Geodon original patent awarded in 1989.
First year on the market was 2001.

And the public wonders why their meds are so high.

Yikes

What company is getting IM Abilify? I'm blowing this Primary Care popsicle stand and heading back into Psych, I have ever seen such a mess as this place!

My 19 yr old daughter started on this 2.5yrs ago and was previously on RISPERDAL which caused her to want to eat all the time. She has responded so well to this drug and though with her mental illness challenges, she has learning disabilities since she was baby. This drug has really improved life for her and I believe one day she will live a pretty independant and very happy life. This drug however is ungodly expensive and I thank heavens that we have TRICARE/military insurance that covers this. I began to worry though because in a few years we will not be able to cover her - no not even with Obama care...not TRICARE. I am so glad to see that this will go generic and prices should drop considerably. This drug worked SO MUCH better than RISPERDAL.

Im looking to try seroquil but im a little scared of the palpitations
Ive takin geodon since 1998 and now im getting into some problems again
Hearing whispers thank God that its no Screaming like it was but i dont feel
Like taking this anymore i want to try seroquel can someone tell me how my heart

On geodon when i hear voices at night You see i had sex w a doctor once
He told me i delusioned it and i didnt then i began to believe what he said in 1981
And thats when the voices started after that horrible situation i was in afterwards
Now when i look back you know im married now 27 yrs to a fine husband but
Becauz of what i did and what he accused me of i suffer these whispers hearing the same
Stuff he told me 27 yrs ago i tried therapy they wont go away
My mothernlaw paid a psych doc thousands for three yrs
Nothin stays helping the geodon just quit working for me
I figure i came along way though i couldnt even wipe myself after using the bathroom
Now im living w my husband but he shouldnt have to help me too?

I read your post thats great! I also take risperdal i have to take that
Or i would shake from anxiety im fine on it my doctor took me off two mgs of it
But i tried going off everything and whew. It ant easy i get to where no where i mean i dont
Live i just get preoccupied with the wall but as long as i take my meds they say im ok

Yeah but when does the generic kick in? I mean it costs 795$ a month
But i have insurance it costs me 30$ hey i wanna try seroquil !!!I love these icons

Damn. Obviously the drug doesn't work as well as advertised, because you are still having MAJOR issues. Lobotomy time for you!

Pfizer will loose 1 billion in revenue once the patent expires on September 1 2012

Good luck loosers and to all who sold this.

Fuck you Pfizer

Indian drug maker Wockhardt has received tentative approval from the Food and Drug Administration for a generic version of a Pfizer psychiatric drug.

Wockhardt announced the tentative approval for ziprasidone hydrochloride in the 20 mg, 40 mg, 60 mg and 80 mg strengths, used to treat bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and the company plans to launch the drug on Sept. 2, 2012.

The drug is a generic version of Pfizer's Geodon, which has a market size of about $1.3 billion, according to IMS Health. Tentative approval means that the generic drug meets the conditions for FDA approval, but the agency can't approve it because the branded drug's patent has not yet expired. One of Geodon's patents expired in March 2012, and another expires on Sept. 1 of this year, while two more expire in 2018 and 2019, according to FDA records. The drug will lose data exclusivity in November 2012.

it is about time!! When are the layoffs!!!!!!!!!!!!

geodon goes off patent and is available in generic sept 1 2012

geodon goed GENERIC

So I started with the company in 1991 and left in 2005. What a crazy spinout Pfizer has had! When we launched Trovan the company forecasted Pfizer would remain number one on its own accord but would strategically absorb strong companies
In the late 90s Karen Katen told us typing the human genome would bring targeted genetically driven with novel delivery systems by 2010. This would fuel the next phase of growth while current patents expired. Working with Roerig and in neuroscience I first hand saw the company give up on Geodon giving the salespeople no tools to sell with but put crazy amounts of pressure on reps to really do the impossible. I am surprised it hit a billion. Congrats reps! Thts quite a feat. You r all still using Stahl?! We came out of launch with tht paper
Thinking abt getting back into the field now. Any feedback ?
