definitely not. launch does not usually follow approval as fast as something like cymbalta hit the market (remember that lilly was waiting almost 2 yrs since the time the fda gave it preliminary approval...that's a lot of time to get all your ducks in order).
if the approval does take place this month, i think we're still probably looking at a fourth-quarter launch. it was originally projected to be launched in early 05 in fact. pfizer's planning will take more time due to the multiple indications for the drug.
