Teva Respiratory and the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) announced today the launch of a national awareness campaign - Ditch the Drip, Get Serious about Nasal Allergies - aimed at raising awareness of the seriousness of seasonal and year-round allergies and the need for people living with nasal allergies to adequately prepare for their peak allergy seasons. The program features two-time Olympic volleyball gold medalist and seasonal allergy sufferer Misty May-Treanor. Misty is speaking up for the first time about the impact her nasal allergies have had on both her career and personal life, as she prepares to compete in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London. For more information on the Ditch the Drip program, Misty's experience with allergies and to view an important public service announcement (PSA), visit www.DitchtheDrip.com.

OptiNose US Inc. today announced results of a study testing delivery of the migraine medicine sumatriptan with a novel device using OptiNose breath powered Bi-Directional™ nasal technology. In a direct comparison of drug absorption, the study found that OptiNose's sumatriptan product sent 62% more drug into the blood in the critical first 15 minutes than Imitrex® nasal spray (AUC 0-15 = 1.69 ng*hr/mL and 1.04 ng*hr/mL, respectively). The OptiNose technology achieved this improved effect despite delivering 20% less drug into the nose (16mg) than the Imitrex® liquid nasal spray (20mg).
