Yes it is. We got the call at 10pm, there were no flights available until the next morning. We had to wait, about an hour, for a courier to come pick up the drug and then it took about 7 hours to drive to South Carolina. Unfortunately by the time the drug made it, it was too late. I was personally devastated. That hospital now carries Impavido with our consignment program.

Absolutely not! Our drug has been covered almost entirely by insurance companies. On average the most out of pocket anyone has paid is around $40. Because it is such a rare disease and indication (even for leishmaniasis) insurance companies pay for it. On two occassions for Leishmaniasis patients who did not have insurance, I have waived the fee entirely. I can't promise that will happen everytime, but I do what I can. I truly care about patients and their lives which is why I am offering the drug to be stored in hospitals nationwide for free.

I have worked for big pharma and generally speaking, most people are in it for the right reason. However, the mega mergers of pharmaceutical companies has created abnormal market conditions around competitiveness. While not big pharma, Martin Shkreli for example took advantage of a system for personal gain, which I don't believe is ethical.

It's difficult. However, our business plan involves more than just one product such as our Rhinase nasal products and marketing costs are kept at a minimum.

There are actually 7 now, I should update that! 2 in Texas, 2 in Florida, 2 in South Carolina, and 1 in North Carolina. We are working on several others. A lot of hospitals have chosen to do press releases that they have the product and we plan to post and update a list on our website soon.
