RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Sad
RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:SadYou are all forgeting about the H2S and Otena's value proposition. Antibe has demonstrated the GI safety of their drug over other NSAIDs which is the main value of Otena over Naproxen or other NSAIDs. GI bleeds are a major concern for physicians when prescribing NSAIDs to be taken over a longer periods and NSAIDs are NOT prescribed at all for elderly patientce for fear of GI bleeds. Whether or not 100mg of Otena over 4 weeks cause elevated LTE levels is what we are waiting for to hear about from Antibe. We also know that the participants that were in the 75mg group did not experience elevated LTE levles. The question whether or not 75mg can reduce OA pain sufficiently is still to be answerd. But since Otena has a component of Naproxen then we know that it will for sure have pain releif and in combination wiht H2S wich reduces inflamation there is no doubt that it will reduce pain but to what level we don't know yet. However, if you can take Otena at 75mg for an extended period of time to manage OA pain and possibly suplement, if/when needed once in a while with Naproxen then I see this as a viable path forward for the drug and Antibe. Furthermore, Otena at 75mg would be able to be prescribed to the elderly to reduce at least some level of pain whereas today they have no NSAID option.
