 INTRODUCES MEDICARE DRUG BENEFIT OUTLOOKS REPORTS; REPORTS ANALYZE HOW MEDICARE PART D WILL AFFECT THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

Unlike other analyses that stress the cost of the drug benefit to the taxpayer, MDBO projects revenue forecasts for individual products during the critical time period from 2006 to 2008. This approach allows AVOS to quantify the impact of the drug benefit on each major pharmaceutical company.

"Based upon our analysis, there are some clear winners - and some clear losers - in the Part D environment," continued MacAllister. "In the long term, this legislation has great potential to significantly alter the competitive landscape of the pharmaceutical industry."
