Poll! New medications

There are some interesting new drugs out there. I found four that fascinate me and would like to know your thoughts, whether you're a medical professional, consumer, or just spellbound by medical developments in general. Here are some links to accompany the poll to the right of the page:

Insulin by inhalation - Exubera bit the dust, but is the future of this delivery method exciting?

Pylera - A 3-in-1 drug regimen for the treatment of H. pylori, which is responsible for 90% of ulcers. One pill versus three (bismuth subcitrate potassium, metronidazole, and tetracycline).

artemisinin - wormwood extract, fighting malaria, ancient Chinese secret?

Xyntha for hemophiliacs - Finally, hamsters can be useful!
