In reply to Transdermal selegiline (EMSAM) marked approvable, posted by jrbecker on February 2, 2004, at 10:32:27
Hmm...I don't know the lingo well enough. "Approvable"---it seems to imply that they passed one hurdle and are moving on to the next---having to do more studies on safety, etc. Does this mean they only just passed the hurdle of proving efficacy?
I was interested in the statement in the press release you posted about dietary issues related to tyramine. I thought that these were sidestepped by the transdermal delivery of the medication. I guess maybe I was wrong. But I do wonder about interactions with other meds, ie, will EMSAM be a med that can be combined safely with others or not.
Well, it seems like there is still a ways to go in this process, but at least it's moving forward.
