yea those drug companies care about us allright.
That's amazing. It's also ironic since the best smokable relief ( for some things such as nausea) grows for free out of the ground, but it's illegal!
Should we buy stock?
Snipped from page 2 of article:
The company's lead product is a vaporized version of an old drug called prochlorperazine, which Alexza is developing for migraine headaches but is currently used in liquid, oral or suppository form to treat severe nausea.
While it is sometimes given intravenously in hospitals to treat patients with acute migraines, the drug is inconvenient to deliver.
Alexza is hoping to provide similar results but in such a way that patients can carry the delivery device -- an inhaler that looks like a miniature hip flask -- in a pocketbook or the glove compartment of a car.
The device contains a battery-powered package that heats a thin coating of drug to create a vapor that can be sucked into the lungs.
I want some of that! That would be wonderful for migraines, cancer patients on chemo, people who have the dry heaves after surgery.[QUOTE=Gimpy-a-gogo]That's amazing.
