Shares of Biogen Idec dropped slightly Friday after the biopharma giant hit a second hurdle in Europe over its multiple sclerosis drug Tecfidera, a product Biogen hopes to soon produce in the Triangle.

While the decision isn’t final, it is the second time Biogen faced this kind of response in Europe after regulators in the United Kingdom reached a similar conclusion.
