Decades-Old FDA Approved Drug, Gets 7,300% Price Hike

Decades-Old FDA Approved Drug, Gets 7,300% Price Hike

Posted by | Feb 16, 2017 |

At the beginning of February, the FDA announced that a new drug (not really new just not technically available to patients in the US) had been approved. For patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy- a rare and fatal disease that only around 12,000 people in the US have- a corticosteroid called Deflazacort had been shown to be useful and life-prolonging. While bringing the drug here and finally making it legal is great, the price hike is not. The drug, which will be marketed under the name Emflaza, will cost $89,000 for a year’s worth of pills.

Are Cavities Contagious?

Are Cavities Contagious?

Posted by | Feb 15, 2017 |

The reason we brush our teeth twice a day isn’t just cosmetic; the bacteria Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus, flourish on our teeth and gums and cause cavities.
