Nexium is now generic, so that gravy train is likely done. These events are dying as patents are expiring like crazy these days and new molecules aren't arriving like they used too. Not sure, but I would guess the money in biologics would mean fancy trips for education conferences at sunny destinations. That would likely only be for the specialists who prescribe them. Not much money in antibiotics as very few are patented anymore. Biaxin XL, Suprax and Avelox are the only ones off the top of my head.
