In the next three years, the large pharmaceutical companies will lose approximately one-third of their current revenue stream as patents expire

It doesn’t help that Peter has stopped taking his meds.

  Derek Lowe has had several posts on that upcoming problem on his blog, http://pipeline.corante.com/ , over the past 6 months or so. And I strongly recommend his blog to anyone interested in pharmacology. He spends more time on the business and politics aspects than I really like, but also has good posts on scientific method and chemistry, his “Things I Won’t Work With” series, http://pipeline.corante.com/archives/things_i_wont_work_with/ , is particularly entertaining.
  
  EDIT: Links fixed. The markup on LW apparently attached the commas to the links.

      Specifically, comma needs to be removed.

    LW uses Markdown syntax, so, there is another syntax for writing links:
