Saw this today on PuertoRico.com (dated today):

Eli Lilly expects approval by this summer of a new depression drug called Cymbalta, estimated to earn up to $2 billion in annual sales. After Prozac’s patent expiration in 2001, the company is counting on new drugs such as Strattera (for attention-deficit disorder), Symbyax (depression), and protein kinase C (a beta inhibitor for diabetes) to increase sales. All three drugs are scheduled to be manufactured in Puerto Rico once the $125 million expansion of Eli Lilly’s state-of-the-art bulk manufacturing facility in Mayaguez is completed, adding 150 people to the plant’s work force.
[/quote]I thought the "problems with manufacturing" that they have been stating were the reason for the delay in getting the product to market were actual problems with an American plant. Apparently, they're expanding a factory and work force in Puerto Rico.
