Avatar m tn I have heard various reports about how the shutdown will affect the FDA PDUFA review/approval process. I read this morning that the Sofosbuvir FDA Panel Review Date Set for October 25th has NOT been cancelled and that since the review/approval process is fee based that it will continue, at least until funds from fees collected to date have been exhausted. Anybody else heard anything? Sofosbuvir and Simeprevir are both set for their approval decisions in the next couple of months.

6538759 tn?1386250196 Kbusymom.....THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this!!! I had heard rumblings about Zohydro...but hadn't read the outcome until you posted this. I read the whole dang article and was filled with the very same feelings you expressed! Just OUTRAGE!! UNBELIEVABLE to ME!!! Here's some of what I pulled out of it: Zohydro is about 10 times stronger than hydrocodone. It has no acetaminophen in it at all..it also does NOT have an "abuse deterrent" in it.

29837 tn?1414534648 When an important “viral” drug is to be scrutinized by the FDA (as the AIDS drugs were), the FDA has a division called the “Advisory Committee”. Their job is to revue the urgency of a new drug based on the input they receive from the public and from doctors. So my friends, let’s keep calling the FDA at least on a weekly basis. I left numbers on my former posts.

1831849 tn?1383228392 The Peripheral and Central Nervous System Drugs Advisory Committee has recommended that the FDA approve alemtuzumab for the treatment of MS. As with any of our favorite concoctions there are serious risks, but the reduction in relapse rate seems to outweigh them. http://www.medpagetoday.com/Neurology/MultipleSclerosis/42899?
Avatar m tn This recommendation has been given by the advisory board and usually, the FDA follows the advisory board members. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
