Topic: Approved drug


  
  Approved drug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If found to be safe by the FDA and approved for the next phase of study, the drug is then tested for safety and effectiveness in humans (clinical trials).
The drug manufacturer then files a New Drug Application to the FDA, which reviews the application and either approves or rejects it.
The U.S. and Canadian systems of new drug approvals are perhaps the most rigorous in the world.

 Full Report: Medicare-Approved Drug Discount Cards - myDNA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Until now, drug prices available to Medicare beneficiaries have tended to be significantly higher than the average prices paid by Americans, especially the prices for beneficiaries without drug coverage, because Medicare beneficiaries without coverage did not have the opportunity to get negotiated discounts or to easily find the best prices for their drugs.
FDA has used this data source to demonstrate that real savings can be achieved through the use of generic drugs, and our analysis of savings is based on the same national average retail prices used in the FDA analysis.
Such drugs account for around 55 percent of all prescriptions today, and are available in well over half of all of the drug classes included in the Medicare cards.

 Medicare-approved drug discount card delivering discounts.
The drug cards provide discounts of 15 to 20 percent or more off the Average Wholesale Price (AWP) for brand name drugs, and far larger AWP discounts for generic drugs.
Larger AWP discounts are available on mail-order drugs through the drug cards, and these discounts translate into even lower actual prices for beneficiaries who prefer mail-order services.
For mail-order prescriptions, which are generally less expensive because they are available less quickly, in higher volumes, and without face-to-face help and advice from a pharmacist, the Medicare-approved cards show savings between 9.9 percent and 12.9 percent compared to such widely reported sources as drugstore.com and costco.com.

"Today's approval of a drug to treat severe heart failure in self-identified fl population is a striking example of how a treatment can benefit some patients even if it does not help all patients," Dr. Robert Temple, FDA associate director of medical policy, said in the approval announcement letter.
It is actually a combination of two older drugs -- hydralazine, an anti-hypertensive agent that relaxes the arteries, and isosorbide dinitrate, an anti-anginal agent that relaxes the veins and arteries.
But trials of the drugs that were conducted in the 1970s and 1980s did show a benefit for fl patients, even though no overall benefit was found.
