For many years, AstraZeneca has been fighting for its $2.6 billion acquisition of US pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline. In February 2011, the US Supreme Court ruled that the company would be allowed to continue to market AstraZeneca’s product, a painkiller, at any time during its exclusivity period. AstraZeneca, which had been selling its products to patients since 2004, had previously sought the return of a $1.7 billion price hike for the drug, which was then being developed by Japan’s Zenith Pharmaceuticals.
The price hike was not only a major blow for GlaxoSmithKline, which had been losing money on its US drug. In 2010, AstraZeneca acquired AstraZeneca’s US marketing rights, and in 2013, the US Food and Drug Administration approved generic versions of AstraZeneca’s painkiller, Nexium.
“The price increase was a blow to AstraZeneca and AstraZeneca was losing money on Nexium,” said Dr. Michael Connolly, a member of the US Food and Drug Administration’s Advisory Committee on AstraZeneca’s products. “This was not a surprise, but the US and Japan are both on a path towards becoming the new targets for AstraZeneca.”
But AstraZeneca was also losing money on its generic drugs. AstraZeneca’s US marketing rights to the generic drug, AstraZeneca’s generic version, was being extended for $2.6 billion in 2012. AstraZeneca lost an estimated $1.4 billion on AstraZeneca’s sales and marketing rights.
AstraZeneca’s US marketing rights to the generic drug was extended to a total of $1.2 billion in 2013, when it had already lost $1.6 billion in sales. The difference between the US and Japan, however, was that AstraZeneca was losing $1.6 billion on its sales and marketing rights.
It was the first time AstraZeneca had taken a hit on its US drug in the market. On April 27, 2011, the US Food and Drug Administration approved a generic version of Nexium, the generic version of AstraZeneca’s painkiller, which was approved to treat ulcers caused by chronic use of antacids. The generic drug’s brand name, Nexium, has a similar generic drug, esomeprazole, and was approved to treat the pain caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The FDA approved the drug for a second time in 2015, but AstraZeneca, which had already been selling its product to patients since 2004, sought to return $1.7 billion in price hikes, which was not a substantial increase for AstraZeneca.
On July 15, 2014, AstraZeneca agreed to buy US pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline, for $3.8 billion. AstraZeneca, which had been selling its products to patients since 2004, had previously sought the return of a $1.7 billion price hike, which was then being developed by Japan’s Zenith Pharmaceuticals. However, in 2015, the US Food and Drug Administration approved a generic version of Nexium, the generic version of AstraZeneca’s painkiller, which was approved to treat ulcers caused by chronic use of antacids. The generic version’s brand name, Nexium, has a similar generic drug, esomeprazole, and was approved to treat the pain caused by GERD.

I was prescribed a purple pill and I'm currently using two pills to get my insurance to cover them and I'm wondering if it would be worth the cost? My insurance does not cover the purple pill. I'm currently using both, and I am not getting the purple pill. What other options would you suggest?
Thanks in advance,
I'm also using the purple pill to get insurance, as I want to get my insurance to cover the purple pill. I have two options, and I'm not sure if they are worth the price. I'm going to go with either of the pills.
1. Generic Nexium (Rx) (generic) for $35 (no coupon). I will get my insurance to cover this. 2. I will need the purple pill to get my insurance to cover it. I don't want to take the purple pill because the purple pill will get me $40. If I need the purple pill, I need to use the purple pill. I'll have to have another doctor's appointment to get the purple pill. It would help if you could get that.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
