Data useless as it was holiday week combined with first week of month. Shares looked flattish but my usual sources were not out so I cannot really see them.

Of more note:

Passed small increase in Xopenex
Added rebate for Medicare subscribers
Albuterol still heavily favored but may keep 10-30% of that channel.

Bill being started for children medicare/medicaid. Some are speculating a rider may be attached re-initiating separate coding for Xopenex. The current one coding move will COST Medicare $200 MM by the way as the average price being used for Xop and albuterol is for all channels and hence will slope down a bit as Xopenex loses share in Medicare channel, but will flatten out as Medicare share flattens at whatever level. Thus, albuterol will be reimbursed so much higher than before, it is a net loss.
