         Re: 402,500 Shares of Common Stock of Dura Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  We have acted as counsel to Dura Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a
California corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the proposed issuance
and sale by the Company of up to 402,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock
(the "Shares"), pursuant to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3
(the "Registration Statement").

                  In connection with this opinion, we have examined the
Registration Statement and related Prospectus, the Company's Restated Articles
of Incorporation, as amended through the date hereof, the Company's bylaws, as
amended through the date hereof, and the originals, or copies certified to our
satisfaction, of such records, documents, certificates, memoranda and other
instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to
render the opinion expressed below (the "Documents"). We are relying (without
any independent investigation thereof) upon the truth and accuracy of the
statements, covenants, representations and warranties set forth in such
Documents.

                  On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are
of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized, and if, as and when
issued in accordance with the Registration Statement and Prospectus (as amended
and supplemented through the date of issuance) will be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
