FDA Approves First Ever Inhaled Insulin Combination Product for Treatment of Diabetes

FDA Approves First Ever Inhaled Insulin Combination Product for Treatment of Diabetes: "There is a new, potential alternative for many of the more than 5 million Americans who take insulin injections, with the Food and Drug Administration's approval today of the first ever inhaled insulin. Exubera, an inhaled powder form of recombinant human insulin (rDNA) for the treatment of adult patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, is the first new insulin delivery option introduced since the discovery of insulin in the 1920s."
