The counterfeit version contained the controlled substance sibutramine and did not contain orlistat, the active ingredient. Sibutramine is a drug that should not be used in certain patient populations or without physician oversight. Sibutramine can also interact in a harmful way with other medications the consumer may be taking. GSK has determined that the counterfeit product has been sold over the internet. However, there is no evidence at this time that the counterfeit Alli product has been sold through other channe...

Let’s have a little bit of discussion on the double standard which applies to pharmacy (hereafter known as ‘gimme gimme gimme!’) Friday night, a guy comes in. Wants a refill on omeprazole 40mg. Naturally, he didn’t call ahead or even have his bottle with him. He’s obnoxious and rude, balks that it will take TEN MINUTES to fill, and proceeds to stare at me thru the glass like I’m some sort of animal. The claim comes back prior auth, with the reject that the insurance will pay for X number capsules in 90 days, then they require prior auth. I explain this to said jerk, who naturally flips out and calls me incompetent. Then he’s going to sue me because I won’t fill his medication and he NEEDS it. Riggggggght. I ...

Researchers said it's possible to implant seaweed-coated capsules containing insulin-producing cells in the abdomen. The cells produce insulin, but the tiny pores in the seaweed do not allow immune system cells to pass through and destroy the cells. Allie has also looked at a related issue: experiments that surgically attach kelp-coated islets to the liver for the same purpose.Sounds pretty brilliant. But could it really work? The verdict looks like "Yes." According to the results of a new Johns Hopkins University study, such implants could be helpful for type 1 diabetics whose bodies otherwise r...

It was about one of the World's fattest men and how he lost weight with help from Fish Oil. But Fish Oil isn't just good for the morbidly obese -- it helps your heart too, according to this article. What is it about fish oil that makes it so healthy? I'm guessing it's the omega 3 in it, since that is the only nutrient referred to in the article. Regardless, I think it's a great suggestion as it's proven to be a healthy addition to any diet. I love fish so I think I'm probably getting my share through diet alone. However, if you don't like fish (like my little brother), you can get your fish oil in capsule form these days, so no excuses!Read | ...
