For years, it was called anything other than histamine. It was a dirty little secret until lotsa shares had traded hands.

It was fully disclosed. Not implying that anyone who had any experience whatsoever couldn't find it in 30 seconds. But the company came public and hit a major league capitalization without any reasonable scrutiny. Courtesy Wall St.

You're correct. OTOH, they didn't exactly ride in on a white horse.

changed at FDA's request from Maxamine in order to avoid a potential naming conflict

I didn't know that and I jumped to the (erroneous) conclusion that they were trying to lay down a smokescreen. But of course Rick's point that this drug is better known as histamine is still valid.
