Re: BTA Biota - is this a bio?? :/ oh yes plenty are following this just this board isnt as populated as some other share discussion boards such as HotCopper. powww, you picked up at .60? Well done! Long term this stock should go MUCH further up but in the short term lots of ups and downs.

Re: BTA Biota - is this a bio?? :/ http://uk.news.yahoo.com/19102005/325/glaxo-shares-rally-bird-flu-drug-hopes.html talks about 800 million pounds in Relenza revenue annually! Thats almost 2 billion Aus dollars and 6% royalties to Biota = $120 million I think this is even before the...

Re: BTA Biota - is this a bio?? :/ "In places such as China, drug resistance (Tamiflu)exceeded 70 percent, suggesting that drugs like amantadine and rimantadine will probably no longer be effective for treatment or as a preventive in a pandemic outbreak of flu, the reports said." "They urged...

Re: BTA Biota - is this a bio?? :/ its ok just answered my own question "Supply to a specific location or country will depend on when orders are placed and the size of those orders. We do not anticipate being in a position to deliver stock from the Boronia line to the global supply chain until...

Re: BTA Biota - is this a bio?? :/ it would be hard to treat flu in an asthmatic with Relenza although I agree with the massive 50% mortality rate with bird flu you would probably do so if tamiflu was not working (try tamiflu first, if resistance then relenza) but you might get around it by...

Re: BTA Biota - is this a bio?? :/ certainly a very interesting couple of announcements yesterday which have made me change my mind about this stock, a once weekly anti flu puffer! wow thats amazing, thats a huge advantage over tamiflu, also the potential for antihepatitis drugs, this is...

Re: BTA Biota - is this a bio?? :/ Anyone remember SARS? Big panic no outbreak, and the WHO were quite successful at containing it. Many experts say it may be many years if ever that we see a bird flu pandemic. About a 10% chance in the next year I think was the figure? Even if there is an...

Re: PNO (PHARMANET) as a doctor i can say that a super effective weight loss drug would be the thing.

Re: PNO (PHARMANET) i still think this has been over-hyped, we already have some topical antiinflammatories eg. voltaren gel and nurofen gel.

Re: PNO (PHARMANET) "What makes tripeptofen special is that it works quite different from exsisting commercial products and therefore can support a broad range of new products." Sorry, but thats not specific enough. For example, is it less liable to cause ulcers like Celebrex and Vioxx and...
