A new product for Procter & Gamble

Tuesday, August 26, 2008

It's no secret the impact Procter & Gamble has on this area. I'm sure many of you know at least one person who works at the plant not too far outside the Cape Girardeau city limits.

The company produces toothpaste, potato chips, laundy detergent, coffee, diapers and much more. But you may not have heard about the latest product it plans to license.

Political reporter Rudi Keller directed me to a story that said the company plans to license Noven Pharmaceuticals' hormone skin patch designed to increase the sex drive in women. Procter & Gamble will pay the company royalties, manufacturing fees and other payments for meeting certain commercial and development goals.
