Cheaper Plavix?

Plavix and Statins are probably two of the most expensive medicines that patients with heart disease have to take on a regular basis. Plavix is a blood thinner.
Medco Health Solutions, Inc., according to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), has declared that Plavix may become available in generic form as early as this month. This could be music to the ears of those who have to spend a lot of money to buy this drug every month.
A spokesperson for Bristol-Myers, according to WSJ, said that they along with their partner Sanofi-Aventis intend to defend their intellectual-property rights, and hence make a case against release of generic Palvix.
It will be interesting to see how the story unfolds.
