Arriella, seems to me that neither an inhaler or a pill is a suitable vehicle to administer a drug for a patient in a coma that may also be on recessitation. Like you, I'd like an M.D.'s comments.

This brings up an interesting point. I ran a search, using a search engine for print media news items, on head trauma and head injury. 90 percent of the items were about Football or Hockey players on the injured list because of head injury. Assuming that HU-211 is ultimately approved for sever head trauma. I wonder what the medical benefit of HU-211 might be for slight or mild head trauma where the patient might not require hospitalization. In this situation, a pill would be quite an asset.

main difference is rapidity of action and reaching a therapeutic blood level by inhalation than by pill,beside this some stroke victims have nausea and vomiting and some alteration of the level of consciousness. Gabe Fernandez
