E-DRUG: Patented new uses for old drugs (5)
------------------------------------------------
Sertraline HCl was an example in South Africa, where the innovator has an
additional indication of panic disorder. The molecule patent life was not
extended as such, but the generics were not allowed to use this indication
in their labelling.
