There was more today on their intention to make Viracept available to children, and was a lead story in the Interactive Wall Street Journal, with some great comments from doctors excited about the news. eg The giveaway program is "great news" because "I have a waiting list," said Andrew Wiznia, director of the pediatric HIV program at Bronx Lebanon Hospital in New York. Dr. Wiznia has treated 12 children with Viracept during the past three months. "This is a real good drug, it may be a great drug, we don't know. It seems to be well tolerated by children taking it," and "only occasionally do kids say 'yucky,' " he said. Parents with children in the study were "ecstatic," Dr. Wiznia said. "We've had parents come in and say it was like a light bulb went on in the child. Within one or two weeks of starting therapy, some children are showing dramatic changes, going from apathetic to interactive."
