Thanks, Erik - I didn't know that. So maybe the FDA will be reasonable going forward.

The FDA's original distaste for combination drugs comes from them seeing this as an attempt to extend patent life and they also saw it as taking away dosing flexibility. But of course they sometimes do approve them - KOSP's Advicor is an example, and in antibiotics there is the commonly used Bactrim (Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole combo).
