Drug prices continue to rise, driving up healthcare costs. Pharmaceutical companies usually hike drug prices at the beginning of each year.
Teva Pharmaceuticals sued rival drugmaker Corcept Therapeutics in federal court in San Francisco on Thursday, accusing it of monopolizing the market for mifepristone-based Korlym, used to treat a rare hormonal disorder called Cushing's syndrome.
Since Richard Francis became CEO in early 2023, his 'Pivot to Growth' strategy has continued to bear fruit. On April 16, the FDA approved Selarsdi, a biosimilar of Stelara, which earned Johnson & Johnson about $2.45 billion in the first quarter of 2024. Austedo/Austedo XR sales totaled $282 million in the first three months of 2024, up 65.9% yearly, thanks to its competitive advantage in the fast-growing tardive dyskinesia therapeutics market.
TEVA expects its newer drugs, Austedo, Uzedy and Ajovy, as well as a stable generics business, to help revive top-line growth in future quarters.
