Innitially I was a bit concerned as to the ability of SEPR to get XopeneX off the ground but after some serious consideration and a little "brain-picking" of my children's pediatrician, I think it will take off quite rapidly. First, the pediatrician I spoke with claims that although steroids have gained a bit more acceptence, they are without a doubt a later alternative to albuterol. With XopeneX showing less side effects and no decrease in lung function it basically makes it a no-brainer for this pediatrician to prescribe. As far as HMO's go I do agree that they will HAVE to cover this drug as it is far superior to standard albuterol and will be demanded by Dr's as well as informed asthmatics. My son being asthmatic I would not accept Proventil with this drug now available to him. Lastly, IMO SEPR has been quite thorough in covering all the bases and I believe they are more then ready to sell this product. They have cash,a great science and strong management. Congrats to the company and all share holders!

To All: Your comments to the following questions are greatly appreciated: 1. Do we know whether Claritin-D has already been approved by the FDA for marketing & sale in the USA ??? I am already seeing a lot of Billboard advertising for this product (with Prescription Only) out in the Los Angeles area. If not, when is it expected to hit the USA market ??? 2. Has SEPR started receiving any royalties and/or fees from SGP from the licensing of Claritin-D. Thanks and good luck to all. Mazen
