Hey, need help in finding a good topic to write a paper for economics class.?

Question:

Its best if its pharmacy related. ex: the cost effectiveness of crestor vs lipitor.

I hope anyone can help suggest me more topics. Thank you.

Answer:

how about this crazy economy and how it affects so many with so little money. believe me, so many will share a few words about how they are affected. homes are not selling, many do not qualiify to refinance because the have no job to pay the banks back, and if we keep losing jobs it will be so hard for many to survive.

the price of food is up to afford it, so we have to shop smarter, and if ur one to travel by train in nyc, the cost for thatwill be raised on top of theh unemployment rate. Source(s): CNN

Question:

suggestions?

Answer:

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs, foods and cosmetics to the FDA. Visit the FDA MedWatch website or call 1-800-FDA-1088.



People spend $20 billion per year on vitamins and supplements.  According to Everyday Health, here's an article that will tell you why . . . those PRODUCTS by any other name do NOT WORK.  It is false advertisements.



The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t have to approve supplements — no agency in the United States does. So it’s up to consumers to bring health concerns to light. “It’s important to understand the difference between over-the-counter medications and dietary supplements,” say Pieter Cohen, MD, an internist at Cambridge Health Alliance and instructor at Harvard Medical School in Cambridge, Mass. The FDA gets involved only after the fact, if the supplement later appears to be causing harm. By that time, the supplement may already have harmed many consumers who used it. “The burden of proof is on the FDA to determine [a supplement] is dangerous and remove it from the market,” Cohen says. Consumer complaints are the primary trigger for investigations. One recent investigation of the dietary weight-loss supplement ephedra resulted in it being banned for sale in the United States.

If Lipitor goes generic in 2011 when does Viagra go generic?

Question:



Answer:

There is already Generic Viagra and Cialis, http://www.wheretobuycialisin.com

I was a little weary of ordering generic viagra from a web site due to the horror stories that you hear about people paying and their products never arriving. However, I have had nothing but a great experience from this company, including six-seven day delivery. Both me and my boyfriend were in heaven when we tried their product! Works even better than regular viagra my bf was getting locally.

I am recommending this website to all my friends!

Is it illegal that they sell generic viagra and cialis already? Before Pfizer patent had expired?

What is the length of time before a drug can become generic ie: pfizer's Lipitor?

Question:



Answer:

Julian, I have taken Lipitor for 3 years with no problems - lowered my cholesterol. Insurance co. has decided I need a generic Pravachol. In just two weeks, I feel achy, muscle fatigue, memory loss. I don't think insurance co. should have the say on what medicines I take. So, I went online and did some research and you know what - Generic Lipitor is already on the market in such countries like India, China, UK. I have been ordering generic Lipitor for almost 2 years now wuth reputable UK Pharmacy Next Door drugstore. Here, check the prices they have on Generic Lipitor, http://www.pharmacynextdoor.com/buy_lipi… amazing, is not it?! Source(s): been on generic lipitor for 2 years

How can one naturally lower their cholesterol?

Question:

I've changed my diet to include more veggies, fruits and fish (salmon, flounder and tuna). I walk 7 days a week for about 30 to 40 minutes. I've started aerobics recently and plan to include running one to two days a week. I have lots of fiber in my diet (beans, nuts, whole wheat breads, oatmeal, prunes etc.). I have never been overweight, never drink or smoke. However, hypertension runs in my family so I am taking 10mg of lisinopril. Kidney disease also runs in the family. So my questions is if I decide to take Lipitor and lisinopril together won't that harm my kidneys? My last total reading was 250 although that number fluctuates when I get blood tests done by my cardiologist. My HDL is always excellent. Just trying to stay alive.

Answer:

With all the lifestyle changes you are making, I think your cholesterol will go down. Remember that you have family history for the diseases mentioned, that's why I think your normal cholesterol levels are a bit higher than for other people.

Since your HDL is excellent, the only thing I wish to you is: Hoping you'll never give up!

Good luck! Source(s): http://www.cholesterol-hdl-ldl.com/ brings latest info about lowering LDL and increasing HDL cholesterol levels naturally.
