Dew, Thrombate III mailing received today as direct marketing for this agent. This is a plasma derived agent by Talecris, but you know that. I have never seen this before directly marketed to docs. The potential to transmit infections including hep C is noted in precautions. This means to me they feel the pressure of oncoming competition. Its good for us, let them develop the market! Their blurb: "One per 2000 people in the general population has hereditary antithrombin III deficiency. One therapy is FDA approved to treat it. Ask us about Thrombate III (Antithrombin III (human)). Restoring the balance in hemostasis"...etc, etc. INTERESTING!! Regards to all,, bp
