Glaxo cuts UK jobs
GlaxoSmithKline is cutting a further 200 jobs at a factory in northeastern England that makes its anti-nausea drug Zofran, a spokeswoman for the world's second biggest drugmaker said yesterday.
The job cuts at Glaxo's Barnard Castle site reflect a need to realign production in the face of patent expiries. Zofran is an older Glaxo medicine now facing generic competition.
