Tamiflu capsule not actual size!Roche benefited from booming sales of its Tamiflu anti-influenza treatment to report stronger than expected sales in the third quarter.
As governments stockpile Tamiflu, in preparation for a flu pandemic, Roche said on Wednesday that Tamiflu sales had soared by 263 per cent to SFr859m in the first nine months of this year. Sales in the third quarter more than doubled to SFr279m.
Insider remains sceptical about Tamiflu. The evidence for all this stockpiling, to him, seems thin. Is this more a case of polictical need? Governments like to be seen to be active rather than passive.
