Pfizer's inhalable insulin a first for diabetics
By mid-year, a multicomponent inhaler containing Pfizer's Exubera insulin powder will offer diabetics the first inhaled form of the drug, eliminating the need for an injection. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Exubera for adults with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes January 27, a day after the European Commission approved the product for use in the European Union. Exubera's efficacy and safety was studied in more than 2,500 adults (including both diabetes types) for an average of 20 months. A Feb. 7 article at www.fdanews.com described Exubera as "the first new insulin delivery option introduced since the discovery of insulin in the 1920s."

OTC packaging: Thinking outside the pharmacy
A recent trip to the drugstore had me wondering: Is OTC packaging getting a bit ... well, stale? As my eyes scanned the shelves, a sea of cartons and bottles blurred before me, and I found it difficult to focus on any one product. It seems bold graphics and bright colors are no longer enough to distinguish one product from another. So what can manufacturers do to maximize shelf appeal and make their product stand out? Perhaps it's time to think outside the pharmacy. Some companies are already moving in this direction. Their take: Just because you're selling your product in a drugstore doesn't mean it has to look medicinal. Even food and cosmetic packaging can serve as inspiration to separate your product from the masses.
