Druggist For The People

Donald Schoeff R.Ph.

Four score and seven minutes ago (about an hour and a half) your physician brought forth, upon her desk, a new prescription, conceived in best medical practice, and dedicated to the proposition that all generics are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civilian war, testing whether that medication, or any medication so conceived, and so dedicated, can help us long endure. And maybe we can feel good at the same time. For forty years as a pharmacist, I've been building bridges - from the doctor to those in need of important drug information - you. With respect for the listener, and from the perspective that it is better to apply a recommended course of therapy than it is to comply with an ordered course, the goal here is not to provide specific answers about your drug therapy, but rather to help you generate the questions that will that will empower you in this. Toward that end, there will be weekly podcasts, very often with guests who will be "the people".

    JOURNAVX – A Non-Opioid for Acute Severe Pain

    Send us Fan Mail Summary:  Journavx was born of the search for an option to opioids for moderate to severe pain relief.  The early results are mixed, some claiming it to be a miracle drug, others dismayed with its lack of effectiveness and its side effects.  Since Journavx utilizes a novel (non-opioid) approach to severe pain relief, the drug was fast-tracked by the FDA, which is a process used to facilitate the development and expedite the review of drugs which provide unmet medical needs, and thereby provide faster access for patients.  Post marketing review is essential to fully defining this drug’s benefits and risks.   Topics:  ·       Opioid Crisis  01:00 ·       JOURNAVX – Moderate to Severe Acute Pain 01:30 ·        Mechanism of Action – New!  02:00 ·       FDA Fast Track – Novel Approach 03:30 ·       Acute Pain = 14 Dayn Approval 05:00 ·       Side Effects:  Nausea, Constipation, Headache         Dizziness, Itching, Muscle Spasm. 05:30 ·       Further Studies Needed…07:00 ·       Precautions:  Liver Function and Drug Interactions 08:00 ·       Dosing. 09:00 ·       New Approach  Post Marketing Monitoring 11:00 ·       Shared Anecdotal Reports 11:30 ·       MedWatch – FDA 12:15 ·       Journaling 14:00 ·       Cause & Effect 14:30 ·       Follow-Up! 15:00 Questions and comments to  druggistforthepeople@gmail.com
