DUBLIN, Sept. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5xz4lp/autoimmune_drug) has announced the addition of the "AutoImmune Drug Focus Issue" newsletter to their offering.

This first approved generic glatiramer acetate has been a long time coming, but the hesitancy in launching shows that the battle to produce a generic Copaxone is not yet over. FDA approval will nonetheless give Sandoz (Novartis) and Momenta Pharmaceuticals grounds to urge the courts to expedite their decision over Copaxone's patents; a launch can be expected immediately upon settlement of this consideration.

A business publication for tracking autoimmune developments worldwide
