HIGHLIGHTS OF FIRST QUARTER
- The non-proprietary medicines increased mainly due to price increases on some of them.
- The OTC specialties decreased, especially in France, Russia and Italy, within the context of a low level of winter illnesses.
- Boiron Canada is facing two class action proceedings. At this preliminary stage, these two proceedings are being reviewed.
