The FDA is finally slated to decide whether to approve the patch on Feb 28. I was wondering if it's approved does anyone know how long it takes to get to market?

The goal FDA date is the 26th, but we may hear as early as tomorrow, Friday the 24th. From what I gather from the drug companies I've called and a doctor involved in the labeling it could be availble within a month after approval, perhaps a little longer. They will push faster to get it out if they get approval without food warnings for the 20mg dose. Anyway, just what I've heard for what it's worth.

Thanks!
Though one study shows pretty good results; almost %50 response over placebo, though the other larger study puts it just moderately over the placebo. I went though a "yeah rock on Docs, to eh crud". Sounds like it might be better than the pills. Mostly few side effects. Cool system though period.
Whos on the wait list?

I am waiting - have been carrying around a 20mg script for three months. Waiting for an update today. I am anxious to give it a try. In the past I had miraculous experiences with Old Nardil, but nothing good from oral Selegeline.
