Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Policies)	9 Months Ended
Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Policies)	Sep. 30, 2013
Quarterly Financial Information Disclosure [Abstract]
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain amounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation within the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation On July 26, 2013, Columbia’s Board of Directors set a ratio of 1-for-8 for its previously approved reverse stock split which took effect on August 9, 2013. The reverse stock split was approved by Columbia’s shareholders at its annual meeting of shareholders on May 1, 2013. All share and per share amounts relating to the common stock, stock options and warrants included in the financial statements and accompanying footnotes have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to this reverse stock split, including reclassifying an equal amount to the reduction in par value of common stock to additional paid-in capital. The reverse stock split did not result in a retroactive adjustment to the share amounts for any of the classes of the Company’s preferred stock.
Business Combinations	The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Columbia accounted for this transaction using the acquisition method under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations.
Revenue Recognition	Revenues include product revenues from sales of Progesterone Products to Actavis and Merck Serono S.A. (“Merck Serono”), royalty revenues (primarily royalty revenues from Actavis on sales of Progesterone Products), and other revenues (primarily service and deferred revenues). Product revenues are recognized when shipped, except in the case of product shipments to Actavis, which are recognized when received at Actavis’ warehouse. Royalty revenues, based on sales by licensees, are recorded as revenues as those sales are made by the licensees. Service revenues are recognized over the period in which the services are performed and certain multiple-element arrangements are evaluated in accordance with the principles of Accounting Standards update (“ASU”) 2009-13, (Revenue Recognition Topic – Multiple Element Arrangements) and Columbia allocates revenue among the elements based upon each element’s relative fair value.
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other	Columbia has adopted ASU 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, an amendment to ASC 350, which updates how an entity will evaluate its goodwill for impairment. The guidance provides entities an option to perform a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. If further testing is required, the test for impairment continues with the two step process. The first step compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value (Step 1). To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step is performed, wherein the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to the implied fair value (Step 2). To the extent that the carrying value exceeds the implied fair value, impairment exists and must be recognized.

Disclosure of accounting policy for completed business combinations (purchase method, acquisition method or combination of entities under common control). This accounting policy may include a general discussion of the purchase method or acquisition method of accounting (including for example, the treatment accorded contingent consideration, the identification of assets and liabilities, the purchase price allocation process, how the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities are determined) and the entity's specific application thereof. An entity that acquires another entity in a leveraged buyout transaction generally discloses the accounting policy followed by the acquiring entity in determining the basis used to value its interest in the acquired entity, and the rationale for that accounting policy.

- Definition

Disclosure of accounting policy for revenue recognition. If the entity has different policies for different types of revenue transactions, the policy for each material type of transaction is generally disclosed. If a sales transaction has multiple element arrangements (for example, delivery of multiple products, services or the rights to use assets) the disclosure may indicate the accounting policy for each unit of accounting as well as how units of accounting are determined and valued. The disclosure may encompass important judgment as to appropriateness of principles related to recognition of revenue. The disclosure also may indicate the entity's treatment of any unearned or deferred revenue that arises from the transaction.
