Peppy, I am thinking that if surfactant were chronically administered then lung compliance would become a mess and worsen the situation. Maybe it would make sense in the earliest stages or not given judicially? Lung mechanics are already bathed with airways collapsed, narrowed, dilated, inflamed, etc..surfactant under these situations could cause dangerously high compliance since patient already has emphysema. in babies with RDS given through the endotracheal tube. I was thinking of adults with COPD. Yeah with RDS give through a specially designed bronchoscope. Current method requires many steps, more than one person, too much time, too messy etc. A NICU bronchoscope made for dry powder surfactant administration

Mike in today's presentation mentioned Erectile Dysfunction applications. That's the first time I've heard him say anything about this. With the patents coming off of ED meds soon, I think this application could be amazingly profitable. Talk about "fast acting"... what a game changer this could be.

Is that a dreamboat in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? but seriously, the amount of publicity the commercials would generate for the dreamboat would be quite a boon for afrezza.

Thought Al said erectile dysfunction was not compatible! At one point he did so something must’ve changed.

Thought Al said erectile dysfunction was not compatible! He did - due to the risk of hypotension from Technosphere mode of delivery being so fast. I would bet they could either lower the dose or engineer a way to slow the absorption to mitigate the risk.

Al Mann found that technospere didn't work for erectile dysfunction because patients alway blowed instead of inhaled. Think that with Viagra working so well, that putting more dollars in didn't seem like a good investment. End of study.

End of study. now, the patent on viagra has expired. technosphere would increase the revenue stream.

I meant that taking a pill is easier than using a dream boat. So, I doubt that sales will be there.

Easier, but not faster onset.

True, but I would rather have us put more effort in getting epinephrine out sooner.
