Congrats to Amylin Pharma and their team for achieving approval from FDA.
only 9-10 months after the trial results were released.
A drug which is a brand new class mimics incretin and slows gastric emptying and absorption of blood sugar. A tribute to private enterprise to develop a novel new compound with unique properties. You can use this instead of Insulin in Type 2 diabetics. Only problem is if you dont want to inject Insulin, why would you want to inject something with 44 % chance of causing nausea. I expect this to be more expensive than atleast older Insulins and Lantus.
I doubt this is going to be a hit. Its going down like STARLIX and PRANDIN !!!
Lets just applaud the success of mankind against Diabetes.
