Acorda Therapeutics Inc. said Monday the Food and Drug Administration has approved its Inbrija treatment for off episodes in people with Parkinson's disease. The company said it expects the treatment to be available by prescription in the first quarter of 2019. "Despite being on treatment, patients may experience OFF periods as Parkinson's progresses, which can be disruptive," said Todd Sherer, chief executive of the Michael J. Fox Foundation. "We knew we had to help address this unmet need, and this approval is a significant step forward for the community as it provides a new option to manage these gaps in symptom control." Acorda's stock, which is still inactive in premarket trade, has lost 31% over the past three months, while the S&P 500 has declined 17%.

FDA clears the way to increase access and lower cost of life-saving opioid overdose treatment drugThe FDA's change clears the way for drugmakers to sell naloxone without a prescription. The life-saving treatment for opioids is also known as Narcan and Evzio. Let me see if I understand. A life-saving drug is only available by prescription because it's label is too complicated?!? And changing said label will allow for OTC and lower costs? Lives are being lost due to a label? This is fairly misleading angelicalavito - You forgot to mention in your article that the auto-injectable and the nasal spray that the FDA wrote these labels for are both under patent unless the companies that own these patents want OTC. So there's that 'small' barrier.
