"5. Glaxo already HAS a 3mg injection and they have decided not to go public with it in the US. It's in use in Europe, or will be shortly, but the dollar here is dictating the release of the 3mg shot. The patent on imitrex runs out in 4 years. "
I found that in the NY CHonvention info... from 2 years ago.
I think that means there's 2 years left on the Imitrex patent now.
We never did get to see the 3mg shot though.

Finally. 2 years left out of 17. I'm not gonna hold my breath, though. They will probably find a way to change the molecular structure, and keep it under a new patent.
I can deal with 6 mg shots. They are easy to split, and they are probably way cheaper than buying 3 mg shots.
Thanks for the update.  Good news.

Yup. You can bet your sweet bippy Glaxo is NOT running scared on this. They've got an ace in the hole somewhere.
pessimistically yours, Linda
