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. Chantix received FDA approval in 2006; Zyban was approved in 1997. These drugs can be effective tools, but users need to be aware of some potentially serious side effects. You can try that and they are very cheap in some pharmacy's.
You are talking about Chantix (Varenicline tartrate) that should be available worldwide. If not, ask your doctor for other suggestion for quitting smoking.
GILD) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted priority review to the company’s New Drug Application (NDA) for sofosbuvir, a once-daily oral nucleotide analogue inhibitor for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The FDA grants priority review status to drug candidates that may offer major advances in treatment over existing options.
My doctor just gave me information and samples of Symlin. This new drug was recently introduced to mimic the role that amylin would normally play in slowing down the rate that sugars leave the stomach. Generally, people who do not produce enough insulin (or any insulin) also do not produce enough amylin.
Unfortunately, it is another injected drug, at meals similar to humalog.
Went to see my Doc to get started on new drugs,because I have stage 4 portal hyper tension and likely cirrhosis. he recommends that I go into a trial at Virginia Mason for another new drug that will be added to the mix(peg,rib and incivek) He did not know much about the drug so I am hoping someone on this site does.
So now I am witing again to hear from Virginia Mason to see if I am eligable for new trial.
This new drug is extended release and designed for those with unmanageable pain w/o the acetaminophen which can cause liver damage. Do we need another pain med on the market? I'm not to say. The idea of extended release is to better manage the pain and reduce addiction. If this med truly helps others in severe pain with less damage to organs, then I would want to see it used when appropriate. It is a schedule II drug and designed to be heavily monitored.
Your father undoubtedly has chronic bronchitis, due to cigarette smoking. One can have this, without having emphysema and/or the signs of obstruction to air flow. He probably does have signs of emphysema, on the CT scan. Emphysema is destruction of lung, usually but not always associated with blockage to air flow that causes shortness of breath and that may be the reason that he is able to exercise without shortness of breath.
Advanced usually is synonymous with severe.
Hello. My wife is type 1 and about a month ago got switched to humolog/lantus with symlin. So she hasn't had long term experience yet. From what I gathered the drug is extremely new. My wife hasn't had any sickness problems with symlin. And to be honest, she can't especially tell that it's doing anything. She had to adjust to taking more than just 1/2 of her humolog, actually she generally still has to take all of it.
Hi Trude! Glad to see you made it home ok! Did you enjoy the rest of your holiday? We sure enjoyed meeting you and I hope that we can be of some help here for you! I am going to send a message to Monotreme...that is whose hubby was just diagnosed with PPMS and ask her to send you a message about the Copaxone he is taking. She may be able to help you out somewhat and at the very least you can swap notes on what is going on ok?
saw hep today and he said that as soon as I was approved on the tp list he wanted to start me on a new combo that has interferon and another drug that they give you up to tp. they have found that once tp is complete the hvc is also svr. does anyone have any info on this. I am getting ready to email followup email and would like to approach with some intelligent questions. didn't get drug name because he had so many interns following him today.
Hey! I haven't ever heard of this? Is it brand new? I will ask my doctor about it. I am supposed to be starting something called "transfer factor plasmyc" that is supposed to rid me of my EBV in 6 months. It works for some people and not for others, but it's worth a shot. I have had so many relapses of EBV. I am 23 now and I first got it when I was about 16. It's been a long hard life since then. I'm also hypothyroid.
