Until recently, there was no prescription fish oil in the US. Now, Glaxo-Smith Kline has come to the "rescue" with LOVAZA. Perhaps, that sentence should end with a question mark. Just why did we need to be rescued? According to the marketing material published by the pharmaceutical company, LOVAZA is drug and should not be referred to as a dietary supplement. But, the only active ingredients in it are the ethyl ester forms of the omega-3 fatty acids Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are elements of a healthy diet. In other words, it's a dietary supplement. To say otherwise is just dishonest. Also according to the marketing material, LOVAZA goes through a "5-step...

Bausch & Lomb Contact lenses have long been one of the most recognised names in optical care. However, the market is becoming more difficult all the time. Countless firms now have entered the market. They offer all sorts of different products, but the main battle remains between the company's long term rivals Acuvue and Ciba vision. As they struggle for control of innovative new technologies, which of these three giants is best placed to succeed? Unlike most contact lens manufacturers it is only part of the larger brand. For the manufacturer Ciba Vision, for example, they are part of a larger pharmaceutical company, Novartis, but the brand Ciba Vision only refers to contact lens manufacturing...

The Food and Drug Administration, the agency n charge of regulating the safety of drugs is the Food and Drug Administration, is empowered by the US government to review the application of a pharmaceutical company to manufacture and release to the market any new drug it develops. The FDA also can issue a recall for any drugs that it deems dangerous for consumers. It also issues valuable safety information so that the general public would know about which drug is unsafe to use. Sometime, however, the important safety information which is being issued regularly by the Food and Drug Administration can be a little bit confusing. It is sometimes full of technical jargon that the consumer tends to get lost...

According to the Association of British Pharmaceutical Industry (Abpi), the national trade association for the industry, it employs around 75,000 people, of whom around 17,500 are graduates. For the financial year 2009-2010, its exports formed the largest chunk for any single industry, at around US$12 Billion. All this drug manufacturing needs not only manufacture of drugs, but also clinical research and testing of the same, even before they get to the manufacturing phase. The government regulation body, Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), has strict standards with which a new drug must meet before it is allowed to be introduced to the market, or exported. Apart from the...

The pharmaceutical companies that rely on intellectual property rights are now in a war of attrition with the generic manufacturers. The generic manufacturers are essentially caught in a price trap in their own domestic market and unable to invest substantial amounts in research even if they change their work culture to nurture such talent. This has led to a conundrum of sorts. The intellectual property rights owner, armed with the trips agreement, thought they would eventually prevail. The recent legal setbacks, particularly in enforcing intellectual property rights for Oncology drugs, in India and Thailand are out in the open. Added to this problem, various authoritative reports are projecting a...

Pfizer, Incorporated, is the largest pharmaceutical company in the world, and is known as the manufacturer of well-known drugs that include Viagra, which limits and prevents erectile dysfunction; and Lipitor, which aids in lowering the blood cholesterol.

Despite al this however, Pfizer job cuts were announced in 2005 the company's attempts to cut back on expenses. Although it had been announced that most of the...

Actually in summer, this is less of a problem as sweat actually helps to keep our skin hydrated.

Pharmaceutical companies are into the business of discovering, manufacturing and sales of drugs. These drugs have to be named, for them to identify the product to its particular pharmaceutical company. Companies decide names for drugs on various factors such as functional or experiential clusters. The names are selected so as to attract attention and score over other competitors. Some names top the charts due to their uniqueness and the fact that they mean nothing yet captivates public attention. The pharmaceutical companies try and prove mass acceptance by giving names to drugs, which relate to the general people in some way or the other. For example, names ending with the letters "gen" show that...

Consumer interest in and awareness of the health properties of antioxidants has been rising in recent years. Not only has this increased global sales of antioxidants (whether used as a food preservative or to provide a health enhancing or functional benefit), but demand for foods recognised as being naturally rich in antioxidants is also growing. Notable examples include certain varieties of fruit (for example blueberries and blackberries), as well as fruit-derived products such as smoothies. As the sector has developed, antioxidants are now being used in the manufacture of a greater variety of foods to cater for increasingly health-conscious consumers. This has been most apparent in sectors such as...

If you are wondering which is the best treatment for scabies mites, you first of all need to understand what the alternative are. The two main forms of treatment are natural home treatments, using naturally derived products which tend to be kinder on the body, or prescription or over the counter medication which is usually in the form of an insecticide lotion or cream. Some people believe that using insecticides on the skin has a potential cost in terms of health as well as being costly to buy. These strong insecticides are applied directly to the skin and can have side effects which some people consider might be harmful. The lotions or creams need to be applied in such a way to cover the whole of...

I feel like sharing some information (without drowning the you valuable readers with facts) on the ecological benefits of using Hemp Products. Hemp is grown with relatively little fertilizer. So what this means is that it is a low maintenance plant and does not demand much from the synthetic fertiliser industries. As the good grows, you do not even pesticides, thereby reducing the contamination of our ground and river systems. Additionally, as the hemp plant flourishes the fields, it naturally acts as a weed controller due to its dense foliage. In my opinion, it is truly a golden child of earth at the early stages. As the hemp girl (metaphorically speaking) grows up, it can gradually replace...

There are collagen injections being introduced in the field of skin care. This has come into place because people have understood that collagen cannot be absorbed directly in through our skin and hence they have found out that this is one reason why there are collagen containing skin care products that are released and why they have no effect on our skin. Now there are something called collaged injections that are also released. But the truth is that this in it self will not have any effect on your skin. This is because collagen cannot just be induced in to our skin cells. Injections are released into the blood stream and there is no guarantee that this will have an effect on us. This is because of...

Herbal supplements have been around forever, but only in recent years have they received the kind of attention they deserve. Although doctors have ignored the potential health benefits of herbs and natural remedies for quite some time, they are now starting to realize that they can in fact treat and often cure a variety of health conditions, even more effectively than prescription medications in some cases. The first use of herbal preparations for medicinal purposes can be traced back thousands of years, with ancient peoples using the extracts of different plants to treat everything from stomach aches to depression to insomnia. Modern science has shown that many of these herbal dietary supplements...

There are some critical aspects about using soap nuts in non-traditional forms. By "traditional" I refer to the very safe method of using dried soapberries (aka soap nuts) that are simply put in a cotton bag and tossed in with your laundry. Recently, soap nut powders and liquids are showing up more and more. Isn't the race for the next "new thing" always amusing? The inherent problem with a "race" is that speed often leads to errors and mistakes. There are very significant issues for the consumer to be aware of with both these new forms of soap nuts. Right when we are all stretching our dollars as far as possible, while also growing in our concerns about all possible health hazards, both these forms...

There are five primary documents when it comes to Colorado estate planning, ranging from a Will to a Power of Attorney. Let's take a moment to look at these five documents that help us make sure our families are taken care of. Laws can vary by state, so it...

During the period of 2000 to 2003, 195,000 people died each of these years as a direct result of medical error. That's the equivalent of 390 jumbo jets full of people crashing into the remote regions of Antarctica each year with no hope of rescue for any survivors. This information comes from a Health Grades study conducted in 2004, which disputes earlier studies yielding much more anemic statistics. And just recently, when asked, Dr Samantha Collier, vice president for medical affairs at Health Grades, said that "there is little evidence that patient safety has improved over the last five years. Besides the loss of life, the cost of medical errors in terms of lost income and production, disability...

No doubt, digital signatures have made shift from paper-based environment to paperless environment easy; however, the need is to implement secure and innovative solutions to sign files digitally.

There are a lot of good, quite recent products coming in the marketplace every week. Many of the products are in the medical industry as a result of cost containment and better treatment outcomes.

I've been getting a recurring question lately: "Will you sign this Non Disclosure Agreement before I tell you about the invention I want you to write a patent application for?" Sometimes, the question is phrased, "how much do you charge to write an NDA that you will then sign so I can tell you about my invention?" This second question is a doozy presenting all sorts of problems. Let me me just kill both questions here: you probably don't need your patent attorney to sign an NDA when you are considering hiring him (or her) as your patent attorney. Let's talk about that second question first. An attorney owes all sorts of ethical duties to his client. The attorney would be violating any number of them...

Change control is an aspect of almost every regulated life science environment. Change control systems allow company employees to quickly observe anomalies that could be harmful not only for company profits but for human lives. The control of change, though of the utmost importance, needs to be simple. A recent FDA article Change Control: Best Practices for FDA-Compliant Medical Device Manufacturers states that "From a common sense point of view, the system has to be easy to use. If it is so complex that employees feel as if they need a Ph.D. or 30 years of experience in the industry to figure out whether or not to file a change control request, they will avoid or try to get around it. The system...

Are you looking for a home-based business opportunity in which you can not only earn a living but also make a difference in the process? If so, consider medical billing. Perhaps you've seen television spots advertising medical billing opportunities and have questioned whether they are "for real." After all, what exactly is medical billing? And is it really possible to earn a living by starting a home-based medical billing business? There is no doubt that healthcare is a booming industry in developed countries throughout the world. And while many people automatically imagine that that a career in this field requires years of medical schooling, advanced degrees, and 16-hour work days, the fact is...

HIPAA stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. It is a federal law enacted in 1996 as an attempt at incremental health care reform and experts consider it to be the most significant health care legislation since Medicare in 1965. HIPAA's intent is to reform the healthcare industry by reducing costs, simplifying administrative processes and burdens, and improving privacy and security of patient's information. There are two separate and distinct laws that fall under the HIPAA umbrella: HIPAA Privacy and HIPAA Security. HIPAA Privacy relates to the protection and privacy of individuals' protected health information (PHI) while HIPAA security relates to the protection and privacy...

Anti counterfeit technologies are of two types namely authentication packaging and track and trace packaging technologies. Increasing cases of counterfeiting have resulted in implementation of anti counterfeit technologies. North America holds a major share of the global anti counterfeit market. Asia has the highest growth rate due to untapped market and significant level of counterfeiting. Europe has a lower growth rate due to a relatively lower number of cases of counterfeiting. The anti counterfeit packaging market is driven by the increasing awareness about counterfeiting and the financial losses caused by it. The major challenges faced by the anti counterfeit market is the high cost involved in...

Syringe Manufacturers date back more than two thousand years ago, where they were used in Roman times. Over time, the basic design of syringes has improved tremendously. Also, the structure has added a piston-like mechanism which allow a hollow glass tube to deliver the medication. Surgical needles have also advanced a great deal, with the first hollow needle invented in 1844. In modern times, syringes have become a vital medical device for treating both diseases as well as conditions such as diabetes. Every syringe manufacturer knows this, and creates a variety of syringes, needles and barrels that both improvise on existing devices or create something entirely new for your particular medical...

Recently I was asked a question by an executive from a medical device manufacturing and distribution business. His company invests heavily to attend domestic and international trade shows. His salespeople close quite a few sales at the trade shows, but their success rate in closing sales after the trade shows is below five percent. He asked for suggestions to improve his salespeople's follow-up sales performance. Here was my response to this executive's question The fact that you have a relatively low (post-trade show) follow-up sales ratio makes sense. Buying decisions are made when emotions are engaged. When your salespeople work with doctors at trade shows, the ones who buy probably get excited...

I've owned my own company since 1988, and often hear people say they'd like to own a business. When I ask why, they give answers such as "So I can set my own hours", "To make what I'm really worth", or "So I won't have to answer to anyone". I tell them not to go into business for themselves, because they don't understand what owning a business really means. While it allows the freedom to come and go without permission from anyone, it doesn't allow the freedom to come and go anytime the owner feels like it. Most business owners work more hours than their employees. The owner of a medical device manufacturing company in San Antonio recently told me that he can leave work any time he darn well pleases...

There is often a discussion between the auditor and the organization about where corrective action ends and where preventive action begins. For example, a non-conformance is detected in process ‘A', are the actions taken to avoid possible non-conformances in processes ‘B' and ‘C' preventive actions, or simply within the scope of the corrective actions taken for process ‘A'?  The auditor should avoid being side-tracked by such discussions and concentrate on whether or not the actions were effective. One of the difficulties in auditing a preventive action program is that some organizations don't understand the differences between corrective actions and preventive actions. What is Corrective...

Be where your prospective patients are- Build rapport and trust with every patient-use the patient's name when speaking to them in person or over the telephone. Stay in contact with your patients throughout the year by sending them a practice enewsletter, birthday cards, and thank you notes when they refer a patient to you. Refine your patient relations processes-have your staff introduce themselves by name to new patients and then walk all new patients from the reception area to the exam rooms. For those physicians who take branding seriously, the payoff could be huge.  The difference between a good practice and a great practice is in the details.  Pay attention to every aspect of you, your staff...

With recent economic developments, commercial collection agencies have become a necessary part of any efficient accounts receivable department. The trickle down effects of the current economic crisis will be felt for next several years as consumers struggle to regain financial stability. It is of utmost importance that manufacturers protect themselves by utilizing the best and most cost effective collection practices possible. Often, outsourcing past due and delinquent accounts can be nerve racking for any treasurer or controller. Many top financial executives earned their position through carefully monitoring their companies receivables and resolving bad accounts. But outsourcing delinquent or past...

As I was pondering about my next article, as usual my gears were turning, and this came to my mind. Our country is going through hard times, and I see more foreign products out in the market. With that in mind, what is the solution to get the country out of this very tight situation? We keep losing our jobs, and the nation keeps going downhill. What do us the people of this country need to do, to stop this downward economic trend? Do we keep buying foreign products, or support our local manufacturing companies, and our local mama and papa stores? Are we ready to help this country out of the recession? I hope by now we all are tired of listening to the same story from our politicians. It does not...

Thought leader management teams face many new challenges in today's environment. Academic institutions have implemented new regulations limiting or, in some cases, forbidding their faculty's relationships with drug manufacturers. Individual states continue to call for more transparency of the industry's payments to physicians. And industry trade groups, such as PhRMA, and medical associations, such as the ACCME, have revised their guidelines to limit drug makers' involvement in physician activities. These and other changes have left companies targeting a smaller pool of key opinion leaders. Calls for greater transparency have forever changed how pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies compensate...

Utilizing third-party pharmaceutical product development firms holds many benefits, even for large-scale pharmaceutical companies. Drug development services provide cost-effective solutions for processes ranging from formulation development to clinical testing and commercial manufacturing. Because up and coming biotech, pharmaceutical, and medical device companies seem to lack drug development capabilities, the service that drug expansion and development services are able to provide these companies help in delivering better assistance to their clients, and at the same time giving more profit to their own organizations. Several programs are also available for small and large pharmaceuticals...

As part of the interview process, many medical device companies will ask the candidate to construct a 30-60-90 day plan. Even if it is not required, doing so will demonstrate to the hiring authority the candidates' serious intentions towards the particular position they are interviewing for. A well thought out plan will include a preliminary preparation plan in addition to a concise and detailed business plan that includes both tactical and strategic initiatives. I cannot emphasize how important it is to lay out a detailed and well thought out plan. An investment of maybe 3-4 hours will be more than worth the time and effort when the job offer is extended. -Preliminary preparation- Preliminary...

Men have been seeking an ultimate cure for baldness for thousands of years but until very recently all available cures were either cosmetic cover-ups or vitamin/mineral pills and herbal lotions, with many of them just being scams. It was only with the advent of finasteride and minoxidil and improvements made in hair transplantation techniques in recent years that the new era began, enabling hair loss sufferers to halt the further progression of the balding process and replace the missing hair on top of their head using the hair left at the back of their scalp. However, to this day no ultimate cure for baldness exists. There are presently several promising drugs and new techniques under development...
