One 'cultural difference' between Teva and Mylan? Coury's $22.5M pay wouldn't fly at Teva

Undeterred by Perrigo rejection, Mylan tells Teva to step off

What price MS therapy? Thanks to price hikes, $50K-plus, even for decades-old meds

Hours after receiving new bid, Perrigo tells Mylan to take a hike
