> Hi there,
> As far as I know the only substance p drug was dropped due to ineffectiveness, though there may be more, crf antagonists I beleive are in phase 2 testing , ie antalarmin and astressin, perhaps one of our american friends can say how long it takes from there to availability as I am from England so im not sure of their timetable.

Why are drugs like mifepristone and ketoconazole "problematic"? I'd be especially interested to hear your opinion concerning mifepristone, as my pdoc was willing to try me on it.
