TEVA GAINS OVER 50% OF US ZOCOR MARKET

July 26, 2006

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.'s launch of generic Zocor on June 23 has broken records and set a historic milestone. This is because Zocor is the largest drug for which the patent has expired to date. There has never before been a launch of an original or generic drug for which the ethical drug had $5 billion in sales.
