Clemens, Bonds, Tejada named in report

Well, the playing field was almost level for all -as all were basically doing the same drugs- long standing (Circa 1950's) tacitly legal(a blind eye)So if that be the case, it would be a cases of the better man won. A clean slate would be nice -but cheating will always be the case when 100's of millions are up for grabs.  (Dec 14, 2007 | post #196)

Antidepressants

The SSRI's and SNRI's are useful NOT habit forming and unlike the monomine oxydase inhibitors or tricyclics are not lethal. They are indicated for many Tx modalities of varied etologies: Post Tramatic Stess Disorder, Panic Disorder, insomnia, Pain,-to name a few. Wellbutrin, akin to Zyban is also a adjunct to smoking cessation, as are short term usage of the benzodiazapines that have been with us > 50 Yrs  (Oct 2, 2007 | post #39)

Addicted to Pain-Killers?

Painkillers(analge sics) have more legitimate indications than misuse. When the indication states: take 1-2 tbs of oxycodone 5mg for moderately severe pain. It means start with 1 tb NOT 2. If BTP (breakthough pain)is present the 2nd tb may be used at the time of the NEXT dose. And then only if you feel the pain is unrelenting. DO NOT increase the dose on your own initative. Once you breech the Dx, you have gone against the Dr's implicent instructions, the Pt is subject to discharge and the vicious circle of addiction & self destruction. CII's have a high potential for abuse, overdose, diversion, and intractable habituation.  (May 17, 2007 | post #29)

FDA Sued by Christian Groups for Approving Plan B

This lawsuit is a farce. Who dictates contraception for 18 yr olds ? The Pope? Roe Vs Wade? Another back door attack on pro-choice. The Gov't should choose just if a woman can now reproduce or not? Pharmacists have NO choice -they MUST dispense to those 18 yrs. of age. The Gov't does not dictate reproductive choice. -yet....Church Vs State?  (Apr 23, 2007 | post #1)

Lawsuits filed over Lipitor side effects

Recently, federal law passed and was signed into law requiring licensing and registration of ALL pharmaceutical representatives.At the he very least minimal requirements are a BS, or MBA, however, some senior Pharmacy Technician III's are let in after a long educational process AND experience. The majority have a RPh in pharmacy from a accredited pharmacy school and passage of the Nat'l Pharmacy Juripudence Law Examination AND the majority NOW want a 6+ yr PharmD curriculum. The days of sales people W/O chemistry..... (organic/inorganic)physics/calculus are all but gone.  (Apr 23, 2007 | post #241)
