I just watched a commercial for Januvia,
It starts out, "If you are a type 2 Diabetic (I then said to my son, "I would be so happy if this was a commercial for AFREZZA")
But of course, two plus years after FDA Approval,
still non existent.
But back to my point... Have you noticed the warnings of possible side effects of Januvia?
Kidney problems, (some needing Dialysis) severe pain in your abdomen, vomiting, possible rash, hives, swelling of the face, lips, tongue and throat. Hypoglycemia, a possible blood test prior to and while using Januvia to
check Kidney function, with the most common side effects being upper respiratory tract infections, stuffy or runny nose, sore throat and headache. And last but not least... Pancreatitus, which could lead to
Death!Yet AFREZZA has a black box warning that in two plus years, MNKD has been unable to get revised?
And take a look at the warnings for Toujeo, Metformin, etc etc.
We need a more agressive approach to rectifying the many issues that are hurting AFREZZA'S market acceptance!
And yes, of course, Advertising AFREZZA will not hurt the brand either...(I still do not get that)
But the FDA warnings for AFREZZA need to be re evaluated asap!
Why they have not made the necessary changes as yet just does not make sense!
Still hoping, Still praying, Still waiting for MNKD to show some chutzpah!
Have a nice Sunday!
