177275 tn?1511755244 In a prime example of government bumbling they have made it difficult to get generic drugs through the approval process also while allowing pharmaceutical companies to unfairly and monopolistically raise the price of generics and brand names through the ceiling. Generic drugs that are not difficult to make and require no research that used to cost $4 at Walmart not cost $85.
667078 tn?1316000935 Another company is getting FDA approval for a generic of Copaxone which has been in production in India for two years. They will have to go through clinical trials in the U.S. Basically if you need Glatiramer Acetate, Copaxone, another company will have a generic at a lower price.
962117 tn?1416358616 The FDA must approve or disapprove of telaprevir on or before May 23 of this year. How long it will take to get on the drug formularies is something we do not know yet.
572651 tn?1530999357 My insurance only allows Provigil with diagnoses of MS or narcolepsy, neither of which I have as a limbolander. But a few months ago, I started on an off-label prescription of generic Adderall for my fatigue, and it's been a huge help. While it still isn't covered by my insurance since I don't have ADD/ADHD, I discovered that by buying it at Costco, it got the price for a month's supply down to $23 (after paying $60/month for several months at my regular pharmacy!
Avatar n tn I feel like going through a Canadian pharmacy would be too much trouble. My doctor and I are filing an appeal to my RX insurance carrier to say that the brand is "medically necessary" so they'll cover it to a higher degree. I'm in the process of that right now but I've got about a month to figure out whether I'm going to save myself $200 and try to trust the generic, or buy the brand name again.
1107393 tn?1263417738 Is there a differance between Synthroid and Levothyroixine? Is one a generic of the other? Which one is best? I was told that Synthyroid was better but more expensive that levothyroxine. Thanks for any input. I am a newbee.
Avatar f tn I was offered to apply for the study, but I am going to wait for the approval from the FDA.
Avatar m tn The amount you were prescribed is for a first herpes ob ( the full 10 days ). It's not a recurrence dose. The easiest way to use acyclovir for oral herpes is 800mg 3x/day for 2 days. It's not FDA approved as a dose but the literature backs it and it's become generally accepted as a dose ( acyclovir has been a generic for a long time so it's doubtful anyone is going to pay for the studies to go for fda approval of this dose ).
Avatar f tn The use of a surrogate endpoint can considerably shorten the time required prior to receiving FDA approval. Approval of a drug based on such endpoints is given on the condition that post marketing clinical trials verify the anticipated clinical benefit. The FDA bases its decision on whether to accept the proposed surrogate endpoint on the scientific support for thatendpoint.
789572 tn?1334424879 You can thank our FDA for this delay. Here is an example of how their drug approval process kills thousands of people each year! http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2010/nov2010_FDA-Delay-of-One-Drug-Causes-Lost-Life-Years_01.
Avatar f tn Currently you would have to pay for the entire series of gardasil shots out of pocket to get it if you are in your 30's. Cervarix by gsk covers the 2 types of hpv that cause most cervical cancers. It got a preliminary yes approval from the fda but not official approval yet I don't think. I don't know what age ranges they are going for with it either to be honest. It appears that the FDA will once again vote on gardasil for males sometime soon too.
Avatar m tn shutdown did not affect the timeline for approval. The PDUFA decision date for sofosbuvir is December 8 or 9 depending on where you look. The overall tone of this document is very encouraging for a swift approval. As a genotype 2 hoping for the all oral treatment ASAP this is very good news. http://www.fda.gov/downloads/AdvisoryCommittees/CommitteesMeetingMaterials/Drugs/AntiviralDrugsAdvisoryCommittee/UCM371877.pdf?
Avatar f tn as soon as it asked the FDA for approval, Bristol-Myers sued, triggering a 30-month waiting period under the Hatch-Waxman Act. Sandoz, the Novartis ($NVS) generics unit, also has an FDA app pending--and has been fighting its own patent-challenge case since last June. Baraclude brought in $241 million in the U.S. last year, and it's expected to generate $260 million for 2013. That's a small fraction of Baraclude's worldwide sales of $1.
29837 tn?1414534648 Each drug trial and treatment requires an approval from the FDA, to the best of my knowledge. In that regard, the FDA so far as Vertex may approval a plan for treating naives, a separate plan for treating past TX failures, and I assume there is one for co-infected (HCV &HIV) as well. Right now there is a current trial for BID dosing, but approval will be based on 3X daily and at some point twice daily may see an additional application.
683231 tn?1467323017 10, 2014, Gilead received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for Harvoni® (ledipasvir / sofosbuvir) for the treatment of genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) in adults. Harvoni is a single tablet that is dosed once daily for 12 weeks in treatment-naïve patients with or without cirrhosis; eight weeks of treatment may be considered in treatment-naïve patients without cirrhosis who have pre-treatment HCV RNA < 6 million IU/mL.
Avatar f tn Vertex has begun the application process for approval with the fda. The process should be completed by the end of this year with approval coming shortly after that. The results are promising and I believe the fda is going to put it on the fast track for approval. My doctor told me 6 months ago it will be probably be ready by the end of 2010. Like pcds says though, there is no way to know for sure. It may be sometime in 2011 before it is available. Hang in there!
107366 tn?1305680375 While you can get your insurance companies to approve the treatment it still has not been approved by the FDA for ovca and my guess is since the fda has pulled their approval for breast cancer, it may be unlikely approved for ovca. I just finished cycle 4 of Avastin and am considering a change to another treatment option. I have had dibilitating headaches from Avastin. As well, I feel like my body and mind are racing....very anxious.
29837 tn?1414534648 Because of my persistence, I received three phone calls from the FDA today. I'm going to now present you with the clarity of what's about to happen with the "Rolling NDA" (New Drug Application) from Vertex and other pharmaceutical companies. A Rolling NDA is an application to have the FDA put this drug on a “Priority Approval” as opposed to a “Standard Approval”. Here's the difference.
Avatar m tn 60 yrs of age or 70, simply due to the phenomenon of tolerance. Subutex and Suboxone are far behind in FDA approval for moderate pain....plus.there's no real effects from the neck up with buprenorphne and NO Tolerance as seen with pure agonists... good Luck.. They tried to send numerous patients < 50 yrs old to pain management and knowing and following buprenorphine for years....
Avatar f tn The general concensus is that they should be avoided at all cost for your safety. Without FDA (Federal Drug Administration) approval of a medication, you have absolutely no idea what you may be taking. It could look exactly like your med, but that may be the only thing they'd have in common. It is just NOT worth the risk to your life and health. With the extremely high prices of medications, and so many of us not having insurance, it IS very tempting to use these pharmacies.
400867 tn?1371753094 You can look up any specific drug and obtain the approval history. And the FDA list of side-effects.The FDA site also has a form to report a potential adverse effect. It is important to tell the doctor you have made such a report and include the manufacturing lot number of the drug.
585414 tn?1288941302 Update. The medication was FDA approved recently and will be available next year. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/731619 " FDA Approves Once-Daily Lurasidone for Schizophrenia Yael Waknine October 29, 2010 — The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the atypical antipsychotic lurasidone (Latuda tablets; Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc) for the once-daily treatment of patients with schizophrenia...
