Today's Research on Celsion, Zogenix, Actavis, and Avanir Pharma
LONDON, April 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
One of the major trends to emerge in the healthcare industry in the last year has been the expiration of patents on several blockbuster drugs. This had led to increasing competition from generic drug companies such as Actavis Inc. (NYSE: ACT) and Avanir Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: AVNR). For major drug manufacturers such as Zogenix Inc. (NASDAQ: ZGNX), the key will be to continue to boost their product pipeline. Major drug manufacturers are also likely to collaborate with biotechnology companies such as Celsion Corporation (NASDAQ: CLSN) that are developing or have developed potential blockbuster drugs. On Tuesday, healthcare stocks ended on a mixed note even as the broad market posted significant gains.
