         Re:    690,000 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 690,000 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.

         We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and further consent to all references to us in the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus and any further amendments thereto. Subject to the
foregoing sentence, this opinion is given as of the date hereof solely for your
benefit and may not be relied upon, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to
for any purpose without our prior written consent.

                                         Very truly yours,
