LIALDA's product sales in the US for the three months to June 30, 2008 were $30.9 million (2007: $5.0 million). This compares to sales of $26.7 million and an average quarterly market share of 9.1% in Q1 2008.

The product was launched as MEZAVANT XL in the UK in November 2007 and as MEZAVANT in Canada and Germany in January and February 2008 respectively.
