Bloomberg News
Amgen Inc. said it’s delivering its drugs on trucks instead of airplanes because of the disruption in air transport services.
U.S. shipments of Thousand Oaks-based Amgen’s top-selling Epogen anemia treatment and Neupogen, a treatment to bolster the immune systems of chemotherapy patients, will be sent to wholesalers by truck from company plants in California, Kentucky and Colorado.
Wholesalers stock the drugs, so there should be no delay in getting the medicines to patients, the company said.
