The ads urge people to call their lawmakers and tell them to “keep government out of your medicine cabinet.” The move, of course, is a bid to maintain sales of such products as Sudafed, Claritin-D, Advil Cold & Sinus and Mucinex-D, and the Consumer Healthcare Products Association is explaining its position by describing the proposal as overly restrictive and certain to increase costs for consumers (additional co-pays, for instance), state programs and lost sales tax revenue (see this statement). &#8220...

Another brand new day is on the way. And, not surprisingly, a spot of snow has descended on the Pharmalot corporate campus. But we were warned, after all. While we search for ways to dig out, here are a few items of interest. And of course, we hope your day is pleasant, even if you work from home.

One of the many things that is exciting about this century’s palpable heartbeat is a noticeable and rightfully unabashed effort by providers of medical and health care (and many others concerned) to wear their sneakers once again, run around, jump up and down, and explore further how patient care is delivered. The resulting new and wiser approach includes the actual patient in the team—having a more active role in the process. This, as we try to reduce (or eliminate) the insurance companies’ role, a separate story that I will leave to the experts. Before I put the pins on three of today’s determined fragments of this big endeavor, let me hover a little bit. One of the greatest luxuries this time allows us t... the story of healing blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4642967 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 22:14:50 +0100 4642967 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2561350&cid=t_149306_111_f&fid=36048&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.b5media.com%2F%7Er%2Fb5media%2FAHeartyLife%2F%7E3%2FSOL1TA2liQY%2F Have a headache? Take a Tylenol or some other brand of acetamenophen, right? Howe about a toothache? Menstrual cramps? Broken arm? There are many types of over-the-counter pain relievers available to the consumer, namely acetaminophen, ibuprofen (Advil) and ASA (Aspirin). And, for many people, they’re very effective. The problem is, who is monitoring how much of these medications they take and how often? It must be safe! “I can buy it off the shelf, it’s got to be safe.” Sound familiar? That’s the way many people think about medications they can just walk in and buy. That’s not always the case. Yes, the medication itself is usually safe for most people if taken in the right way, but that leaves a lot of “ifs” in there, doesn’t it? A maj...

Why? Mixed midstage study data and concerns about possible side effects. This is yet another setback for Wyeth, which has struggled to win FDA approval for various drugs or indications over the past couple of years. The Alzheimer’s medication, in particular, is a huge bet with the potential for enormous payoff, given the extent of the disease and the lack of suitable treatments. You may recall, though, that the closely watched med, which Wyeth is developing with Elan, failed to achieve statistical significance and also raised the risk of a potentially serious side effect...

The symptoms for headaches can be quite different. Occipital neuralgia can mimic migraine headaches but do not respond to standard migraine medications. Occipital neuralgia rarely occurs as a headache syndrome by itself. The majority of patients with occipital neuralgia have one or more other types of headache including: migraines, tension headache, rebound headache and cluster headaches. Occipital neuralgia is frequently misdiagnosed as migraine or cluster headaches. Patients with prominent face pain as part of their occipital neuralgia may be incorrectly diagnosed with tic delaroux (trigeminal neuralgia.) Occipital neuralgia is caused by an irritation of the occipital nerve as is comes through the muscles in the back of the nec...

I shall remain healthy if it kills me. This provides enough energy to bake a dozen muffins with the left over pulp. Small people perseverate on the usual matters with one new addition, “not a stork, it’s an egg head!” Ordinarily I would enquire into the source but I am far too grumpy. It’s probably something to do with storks and babies, and I am in no mood to commence a sex education lecture to a seven year old. I swallow another couple of Advil as I can't afford to be wiped out by Vicodin. In an ideal world I would opt for a pout but I can only just manage a glower, which I hope is enigmatic. Spouse has abandoned us once again, back to England. I had anticipated a ‘love, honour and obey i...

The drugmaker blames some retailers for getting too excited about a new Advil dosage. It so happens, some unnamed chains began advertising that the stronger version would hit store shelves soon, but there was a problem - the FDA hasn’t yet approved Advil Maximum Strength. So Wyeth is in the unenviable position of running newspaper ads saying the product isn’t available yet. But why did this happen? Wyeth notified some retailers that distribution of the new product was “imminent,” and a few retailers earlier this month promoted it in store flyers, Wyeth spokesman Doug Petkus tells the Associated Press. Here’s the rub - the FDA told Wyeth on Sept. 14 that it must meet certain conditions before the agency can approve sale o...
