Kidney disease, severe, or * liver disease, severehigher blood levels of duloxetine may occur, increasing the chance of side effects. Important groups of new antidepressants include the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors SSRIs ; fluoxetine, sertraline, paroxetine and citalopram ; , noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressants NaSSAs ; mirtazapine ; , and serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors SNRI ; duloxetine ; 1. Stir bar sorptive extraction, a recently developed solventless sample preparation technique, has been applied to the extraction and enrichment of organic compounds from biological fluids such as plasma, urine and blood. One of the limits of sorptive extraction is that PDMS non polar phase ; is the only polymer at present commercially available as a coating for stir bars. Polypirrole has been used as extraction phase due to multifunctional properties, such as, permeability porous structure ; and the intermolecular interactions between the polymer and analytes: acid-base, ? -? , dipole-dipole, and hydrophobic hydrogen bonding and ion exchanged2. A new polymeric coating, dual-phase, polydimethylsiloxane and polypirrole PDMS PPY 10: 1 w w ; , was developed for determination of antidepressants mirtazapine, citalopram, paroxetine, duloxetine, fluoxetine and sertraline ; from plasma samples, using stir bar sorptive extraction followed by liquid chromatography analysis SBSE LC-UV ; . The PDMS PPY coated stir bar showed high extraction efficiency sensitivity and selectivity ; towards target analytes. The surface characteristics of the polymer films were investigated by Scanning Electron Micrography, where PDMS PPY and PDMS coated surfaces possess different porous structures.The extraction mechanisms were found to be based on both adsorption polypirrole ; and sorption diffusion capability of PDMS ; processes. The SBSE variables: extraction time, temperature, pH of the matrix, and desorption time were optimized to achieve adequate analytical sensitivity in short time. Using the optimized SBSE conditions temperature at 40? C, and time extraction for 40 minutes ; , the sorption equilibrium was reached for almost all analytes. The limits of quantification of the SBSE LC-UV method ranged from 20.0 ng mL-1 to 50.0 ng mL-1, and limits of detection from 5.0 ng mL-1 to 20.0 ng mL-1. The concentration range from the limit of quantification LOQ ; up to 500 ng mL-1 was linear with determination coefficient values above of 0.99. The inter-day precision of the SBSE LC-UV method presented coefficient of the variation lower than 15%. The validated SBSE LC-UV method was applied during clinical studies to the determination of antidepressants in plasma samples from elderly depressed patients. The method presented high sensitivity and enough reproducibility to permit the quantification of antidepressants in human plasma after oral administration. Thus, the proposed SBSE LC-UV proved to be an useful tool for therapeutic drug monitoring. 1. P. Pacher, E. Kohegyi, V. Kecskemeti, S. Furst1, Curr. Med. Chem., 8 2001 ; 89. 2. M. Kawaguchi, K.

Irinotecan is a semisynthetic analog of camptothecin with dose-limiting toxicities of myelosuppression and delayed diarrhea. A prodrug, its active metabolite SN-38 is eliminated via glucuronidation.15 The wild-type gene for uridine diphosphate glucuronyl transferase, UDP-glucuronyltransferase UGT1A1 ; , is polymorphic, but not for a SNP: this gene's expression varies inversely with the number of TA repeats in the promoter region. The wild-type gene has 6 repeats, and the common variant, UGT1A1 * 28 responsible for the majority of cases of the liver disorder Gilbert's syndrome has 7. The subsequent reduction of activity leads to an increase of SN-38 passing into the gut, resulting in late-onset diarrhea.16-19 The homozygous and heterozygous states result in reductions of SN-38 glucuronidation of 50% and 25%, respectively. Homozygotes, who clinically have Gilbert's syndrome, are about 9% of the general population and are prone to periods and calcitriol. When treatment effects were pooled over all visits, patients receiving duloxetine, 60 mg , exhibited significantly greater improvement than placebo-treated patients in 5 of the 6 assessed vas pain measures.

Through the healthline as the k a 1 group for analysis. Discontinuations rates due to adverse events were 13.1% in the duloxetine group and 3.4% in the placebo group. Discontinuations due to perceived lack of efficacy were 4.4% and 11.1% respectively. In an analysis using only endpoint responders 50% reduction in HAM-D17 ; the median times to sustained 30% improvement in Maier subscale were 16 days duloxetine ; and 21 days placebo ; p 0.059, not significant ; . A 30% improvement in the HAM-D17 total score leading to a sustained improvement in symptoms may have been achieved in a significantly shorter time period in the duloxetine group compared to the placebo group in which it could not be estimated ; , but this would be expected, as an active drug is more effective. The two trials from which the pooled data were obtained were not conducted with the primary objective of assessing onset of action and the definitions of onset were not prospectively declared. A study designed to investigate onset of action may have more frequent assessments in order to determine more accurate the timing. The and carbimazole. Stress urinary incontinence SUI ; is the involuntary loss of urine associated with physical activities, such as running or jumping, or with sneezing or coughing. It can present as either pure SUI or with symptoms of urge incontinence mixed urinary incontinence ; . It tends to be more common with age and in females1. Until now, there have been no licensed pharmacological agents to treat SUI. Agents that have been tried include alpha agonists or imipramine but these have had limited efficacy and or poor tolerability. The mainstay of management has been pelvic floor exercises, lifestyle changes or surgery, although some patients may have been prescribed drugs such as oxybutinin if presenting with mixed urinary incontinence2. Duloxetine is a selective serotonin noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor. It is postulated that its pharmacological effect is to increase the neural stimulation of the external urethral sphincter, thus potentiating the sphincter contraction and impeding the flow of urine2.

In duloxetine study patients, results suggest that the higher dosage range 80 mg to 120 mg per day ; was associated with better response rates than lower dosage range 40 mg to 60 mg per day and cefadroxil.

Aspirin reduces the risk of newly diagnosed adultonset asthma, according to the results of this secondary analysis of a large, randomised controlled trial. Data from the Physicians' Health Study, a cardiovascular disease primary prevention study, were used to identify 22, 040 participants with no reported asthma at baseline and who were randomised to treatment with aspirin 325mg or placebo on alternate days. Results from baseline and follow-up questionnaires were used to identify the number of newly diagnosed asthma cases. There were 113 new diagnoses of asthma in the aspirin group and 145 in the placebo group, hazard ratio 0.78; [95% CI 0.61 to 1.00]; p 0.045 ; . Results were unaffected by smoking status, body mass index, or age. The authors note that the study was not designed to look at this outcome, but point out that its strengths include large size, good follow-up and knowledgeable study population.

DRUG COST TRENDS You have no idea how grateful I for the privilege of receiving medications at a reduced rate. I spent almost , 000 during the past year for medicine. I a disabled widow living on Social Security. My illnesses degenerative joint disease, Lyme disease, Lupus and high blood pressure ; require very expensive medications. I so deeply grateful to the officials in New York State who made this help available to me. Ms. M Carmel, NY Introduction This program year total prescription costs were largely impacted by the expansion of the EPIC program. Net State costs increased by million compared to the last program year. Over 87, 000 more seniors used the EPIC program to purchase prescriptions. Most of the program costs were attributable to the Fee Plan. Fee Plan enrollees accounted for 85 percent of the prescription purchases, but accounted for 94 percent of EPIC expenditures. Drug costs were again impacted by double-digit price increases. The average price of a prescription increased 11 percent from the last program year, to .52. This section discusses the changes in the cost of prescription drugs and the impact of the expansion on these costs. Summary of Costs More than 221, 000 seniors used EPIC during the program year to purchase over 6 million prescriptions. These medications cost 9.5 million. By using EPIC, enrollees saved nearly 2.5 million at the pharmacy. After deducting participant fees and manufacturer rebates, the net cost to the State was 2 million. A summary of this year's program statistics is shown in Figure 10. FIGURE 10 PROGRAM SUMMARY STATISTICS Enrollment as of September 30, 2001 Seniors Active During Year Prescriptions Purchased Total Cost of Prescriptions Managed Participant Copayments Deductible Payments Total EPIC Payments to Pharmacies Fees Paid by Seniors Rebates by Manufacturers Net State Costs 228, 057 221, 9.5M $ 67.2M $ 19.8M 2.5M $ 14.8M $ 45.7M 2.0M.
