That may very well happen. That is how drug companies
continue with the big bucks!
The most famous at this was:
Furadantin (antibiotic mostly for kidney/bladder infections)
then became,
Macrodantin (macrocrystals easier on stomach)
then became
MacroBID ( another change in dosage release).
All containing the same drug. 30+ yrs on patent!
It is probably killing Pfizer that Lipitor goes generic in 2012.
We may see some very negative information released about statins after Lipitor goes GEQ. The parent company does not want damage/liability attaching to their drug when generics are sued. That is when SSRI negative studies that were held secretly by Glaxo and Lilly became available when Paxil and Prozac went GEQ.
