Avatar f tn Hello, Chantix (varenicline) and Zyban (bupropion) are the only two non-nicotine medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for smoking cessation; both are available in pill form and only by prescription.

They echo previous claims that the drug can induce extreme reactions in people trying to quit cigarettes, including vivid nightmares, crippling depression and sudden, violent outbursts.

They are going to do whatever the pharmaceutical companies suggest, especially since there are no other alternative drugs except Interferon and Ribavirin. My contact at Vertex, who I just spoke to, is going to look once more into the IND application (Compassionate Use), and see if there's been any changes in their (Vertex) policy for allowing it.
Avatar m tn Daily visits to selected websites, subscriptions to selected scientific and medical podcast as well as my monthly magazines such as Nature, Scientific American, Physics Today, Science Magazine and Science Readers. respirate just convinced me to add the FDA website into my dailies. What is good with technology these days is that you can be very selective regarding the kind of information you want to get and newspapers make me angry for some reasons that are totally personal.

Other forms of treatment should be sought and, if the product is used at all, it should be for short periods of time. Advair affected my adrenals, harmed my eyes, and worsened my asthma.

Avatar m tn For people with 1b Sovaldi and Riba seems to be the ticket. Later this year the FDA should approve the companion drug for Sovaldi and do away with the Riba.
