Reporter the drug, called namenda ir, was due to go generic last july, but Forest Laboratories<\/a> had planned to stop selling the twicedaily drug many months before a less expensive Generic Product<\/a> couldva become available. When a drug goes generic, the price usually drops 70 to 80 . In 2013, namenda revenues were about 1. 5 billion. The company asked doctors to switch patients to a oncedaily version called namenda xr, which currently has patent protectionct for another 15 years. Its a strategy called forced switch. Brent saunders, c. E. O. Of actavis, the Parent Company<\/a> of Forest Laboratories<\/a>, said this about namenda during an Investor Conference<\/a> call last january we believe that by potentially doing a forced switch, we will hold on to a large share of our base users. They have no excuse whatsoever to stop making that drug available, none. Reporter on september 15 the new York State Attorney<\/a> general, eric schneidermanra filed a federal lawsuit against actavis. This month, judge robert w. Sweet announced the company must continue selling namenda i. R. , saying, defendants are entitled to a just return on their investment in namenda i. R. But having enjoyed that return for over a decade, the law now requires them to allow generic competitors a fair opportunityfa to compete. Actavis said they were disappointed in the ruling which they call unprecedented. The company said they will appeal. Glor dr. Jon lapook thank you very much.

If you wonder where it comes from, the bottle might not be very helpful. Chip reid explains. Reporter whiskey is booming. Once the drink of gruff old cowboys, today whiskeys like bourbon and rye are surging in popularity with young americans. Over 130 new brands were introduced just this year. Most popular are the socalled handcrafted bourbons, but theres a dirty little secret in the distilling industry. Many companies dont make what they bottle, even though their labels give the impressio that they do, a sore point for the growing legions of whiskey purists across the country. Templeton rye whiskeys label, for example, said its produced in templeton, iowa, using a recipe dating back to prohibition. But in fact, templeton, and many other brands, are actually made at this massive plant in southern indiana. So these barrels are all full of aging bourbon. Thats correct. Each one of these holds about 63 gallons. Reporter a former seagrams distillery, it is now owned by m. G. P. Ingredients, which sells its whiskey in bulk to dozens of Smaller Companies<\/a> who then add their own finishing touch. M. G. P. Sends out nearly 300 barrels every day. Gus griffin is m. G. P. s c. E. O. People want to take your product and in some cases give the impression that they made it. Is that bad . Is that cheating . I prefer to think of it as them taking our product because we make a good product and using it as the backbone for their product. So what they do with it is really up to them. Reporter on a small farm in southern kentucky, paul tomaszweski and his wife, mary beth, make their bourbon, m. B. Rolein, the Old Fashioned<\/a> way, from scratch. We put on our label distilled and bottled by m. B. Roland distillery. And part of that is because we dont want anyone to be confused and ever question did you make this . Reporter federal regulations require accurate labels but theyre often vague and theresan little enforcement. When it says bottled by on the label, what does that tell you . It says it was bottled by. Reporter thats all. Correct. Reporter it doesnt mean they made it. If they made it, they would probably put it there proudly like we do. Reporter templeton recently said they will change their label to make it more clear, but in the murky world of whiskey, tomaszweski says consumers wouldsume be wise to take whats written on some labels with a grain of salt.
