Exubera?

Did anyone out there ever see a prescription for this then? For something that arrived on the market as the best thing since Brett Favre, it sort of sunk without trace.

We filled it a couple of times at my pharmacy in the states, but we never had anyone ask for a refill... There must have been something funky about it.

Heard the main reason it didn’t catch on was because the delivery device was the size of a small fire extinguisher. Think one of big pharma has a product in phase 3 trials now thats the same size (if not smaller) than the asthma pumps so i imagine if the price is right you'll be checking that the sticker says the same thing as the prescription for lots and lots of those in the years ahead
