In relation to the above question and counterfeiting... What are the
top 10 revenue generating product lines for each major manufacturer in
the US and globally and what revenue does each represent? These drugs
do not necessarily have to be related to counterfeiting themselves, as
I know getting data on specific counterfeit drugs is hard. That will
put the
counterfeiting data in more relevant context.
