This article shows why IPIX is doing the absolute right thing by pursuing the powder-in-a-packet method of delivering Brilacidin-OM to patients. I do not think people realize the magnitude of its importance, in making sure that patients can get the correct measured dose, and can easily store it. (Plus, the huge cost savings in manufacturing and transport. It is NONSENSE for people to claim that the cost of manufacturing, storing, and transporting bottles filled with liquid is "a rounding error," as one naysayer claimed. Transportation costs and ease of manufacture are VERY significant factors in profitability.)
Dosage issues: anyone who has had their eyes dilated for an eye exam knows that the dose you get can vary greatly because of the eye droppers. I also posted an article several months ago about how Big Pharma packages huge quantities of liquid medications, knowing that most patients will throw away most of it. For example, look at nose sprays -- decongestants all tell you not to use it for more than 3 days in a row, and to throw it away if you have used it when you were sick. Yet they package enough for 100 days, so that you throw out most of it. Why? Because they can charge the insurance companies and Medicare more for the large quantity that is wasted.
Now this company is coming out with a "microdose" technology, because guess what? It's not good for you to get the huge doses of eye drops (for instance, for glaucoma).

Anyway this show how important the delivery system of a drug is. By using the powder-mixed-with-water method, it ensures that the patient is getting the right dose every time, assuming that they mix it more of less properly. No issues with having to refrigerate open bottles. No issues that the patient didn't shake the bottle enough, so that the dose when the bottle is opened is different from the dose near the end. No heavy bottles to transport.
Bravo IPIX management.
