Mannkind111- there are several doctors apart of this community as well as several nurses. Start asking your questions and they will appear...

I guess I'll start. I have only recently been interested in this company. Not for the product but for the stock price target and merger possibilities. I have not established any positions in this company as of yet, and although slightly hesitant, wanted to get some feedback as to whether or not it is smart to get in at this price level? Any logical suggestions would be appreciated.

Quick answer from someone who isn't a doctor but plays one to get the ladies. Calling Dr. Howard! youtu.be/53KcqITIPlA?t=43sTo answer your question, you are taking a risk buying here in a company whose fate is in the hands of the FDA. The odds look good for approval but one never knows with the Government who seems to enjoy breaking the law (IRS targeting and coordinated lack of Border enforcing). You better hope Al has been nice to King Hussein Obama. Plus, no one knows that status of partnership. That's a big one. No partnership or delay in one can have a serious negative effect on the share price. Invest only the amount you can comfortably afford to lose. Good luck. I have to go, looks like another female needs my medical help. |

I would suggest that you do whatever DD you feel comfortable with first. Most here are sold on the company, so you'll hear nothing but good things. Then, when you figure out how much you want to invest, I suggest that you put 1/3 in prior to FDA decision and 2/3 in a couple of days afterward. If I had to guess, I'd say you know a bit more about this company than you are letting on. Good luck, "doc."

Any logical suggestions would be appreciated. So out of curiosity, as a doctor, are you not in the least bit "interested" in "the product"? Are you a disbeliever in Afrezza's efficacy? What's your specialty such that the only aspect of a potentially blockbuster drug (that will probably do so much to increase the quality of life of so many people) that captures your interest is the personal financial incentive? |

Sorry for the late reply as I am not always able to logon. Its not that I am a believer or not in this drug. In all honesty, some individuals may convert to the use of this drug. I personally see this as another way a company makes insulin to make money (Smart money). Use all your angles. The question isn't "Is this going to pass or not" as much as is the FDA going to find this useful or necessary for the public. The way this is determined is by efficacy and safety. Well Safety was already addressed by the panel. Now efficacy is to be determined by the FDA. Is this going to be useful? More useful than current drugs? What are the benefits vs disadvantages? and so on. If they find that this can actually help vs harm people, then they will pass it. Considering mast drugs which are no longer on the market, this bears a risk. Will the FDA compare this with a previous drug? If so, will they consider this pointless? Considering it didn't work the first time? There are a lot of questions to be answered but I think at the end of the day, the FDA just like most doctors will agree that this is just another drug we can fall back on if need be. That being said I personally see this passing. |

That being said I personally see this passing. I am an Internist at a very well known hospital in Los Angeles CA. I have hundreds of patients on insulin. I used this experimentally on some patients who were interested in trying it. Some decided to come off of it and others were not constantly using it. I received mixed results. I am also aware of a few other physicians who did the same with similarities in findings. Im just curious why there is so much interest outside of the medical world on this? |

You know, the other day I received an email from an African prince. He informed me about some money I was entitled to and all I had to do was...
Oh, wait, I'm sorry, is this the thread where we pretend to be doctors giving out drugs that are not yet available? Sometimes I get confused with all the patients I don't actually see. Or have.

I don't usually post when I am vacationing in the NC mountains, but I can't resist on this one. I have practiced medicine in my dreams for the past 35 years. I have been using Afrezza on my patients since the initial trials. All of my patients using Afrezza are ecstatic about it's benefits and ease of use. I currently have over 100 patients using Afrezza. Because the black-market on Afrezza is very limited, I am unable to add more patients. I have a waiting list of over 1000 patients. I do require all of my patients to drink ouzo daily. It seems to act as a body cleanser, providing they stay conscious. BTW, Spiro graciously allowed me to post this message. But it ain't approved, until it's approved.

If we were really organized as a board, we would have referred him to the "other proboard" where OPC would have set his counseling back a few years.
