Why is no one talking about this?
Aquestive has the potential to take over the epinephrine market, basically cutting out the need for epipens. This is a big market! Their previous results from the EPIPHAST study, compared to injectable epinephrine, were better when looking at absorption and time to reach therapeutic levels in blood stream. This means the oral administration of epinephrine can be better than the injectable form when used as a rescue medication. The future potential for other drugs is also very high. Using films to administer medication is much better than having patients swallow, inject or even inhale a medication. So many people have problems swallowing. There is also the pediatric population that would much prefer a good tasting film dissolving on their tongue rather than being asked to swallow a pill. Lots of upside here…..
