Why get back in? The pipeline? Personally, the local obstetrics community's reaction here was/is that Makena was a pathetic attempt to manipulate the FDA, doctors, insurances and patients and I could see this leading to a backlash and blacklisting led by physicians, who in the US, are gatekeepers to pharmaceuticals. Unless KV demonstrates some value over the compounded product the pharmacist has been mixing on the bench for forever AND does some serious physician PR work (despite their altruism, doctors tend to hold grudges against those that arm twist them and profit unethically from their patients that were being served well ), I think the company may have bet the farm and lost big here.
