Cialis did a good job since its launch and their sales were going up; starting with $250 million and in 6 years taking it beyond the mark of $1 billion; plus its rating at the stocks were positive but due to global economic crunch and some issues between the two partners who developed Cialis, Eli Lilly and Icos Corp, it ended with Eli Lilly buying it for $2.3 billion.
