Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. started the week out strong – winning approval to market an oral formulation of Relistor and gaining an FDA advisory committee's backing to sell the company's plaque psoriasis drug brodalumab. But that winning streak came to an abrupt halt with the agency's rejection of the firm's eye treatment latanoprostene bunod.
