  Alzheimer's disease - donepezil, rivastigmine and galantamine
NICE has recommended that the three drugs donepezil, rivastigmine and galantamine should be made available in the NHS as one part of the management of some people with mild and moderate Alzheimer's disease.
The drug should normally be given when their MMSE score is above 12 points, and the other tests show that the drug is having a worthwhile effect.
Sometimes drug treatment is stopped for a short period in order to determine whether a person is benefiting from the drug treatment.

 NICE appraisal of Alzheimer's drugs, UK   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
NICE has not yet issued new guidance to the NHS on the use of donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine and memantine for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease; the final guidance is expected in October 2005.
NICE guidance and recommendations are prepared by independent groups that include professionals working in the NHS and people who are familiar with the issues affecting patients and carers.
NICE is currently in the process of developing a clinical guideline on the management of dementia, including use of antipsychotic medication in older people.

 Epilepsy (adults) - newer drugs
If the older drugs (such as sodium valproate and carbamazepine) do not stop a person from having seizures, or if the person experiences side effects, one of the newer drugs can be tried, as long as it is suitable for the type of epilepsy the person has.
This could be because there is a reason why he or she cannot take the older drugs (for example, some drugs are not suitable for people with liver disease), or because they cause unwanted effects that the person cannot tolerate.
The decision on what drug or drugs a person takes will depend on the drugs’ unwanted effects as well as how good they are at preventing his or her seizures.

 Citizine Reviews - Suckdog, Drugs Are Nice
Most of Drugs Are Nice sounds like the bad audio recordings of my friends and I getting loaded and watching Kung Fu Theater when we were 14, but I didn’t release that stuff as an album.
Drugs Are Nice is unlike anything that has been recorded before or since, and that alone makes it worth hearing.
My completely unloaded interpretation of Lisa Suckdog's "Drugs Are Nice" embraces her zeal to make percussion out of every object in her household, i.e., banging on tables, cutlery, toilet tissue, etc., while waltzing around warbling.

 Cancer Drugs Availability
NICE examines most of the new drugs used to treat the major cancers and offers advice as to which patients would benefit from them and under what circumstances.
Until NICE produces a report on a particular drug, it is not always possible to ensure that it is widely available for all patients.
If a NICE drug is not available in an Acute Trust it may be because the particular cancer for which it is normally used, is not treated there.

Drugs Are Nice / By Lisa Crystal Carver
That’s one of the messages in Lisa Crystal Carver’s engaging Drugs Are Nice, which is subtitled A Post-Punk Memoir.
Life certainly dealt Carver her share of bad cards, not the least of which was an absent, narcotics-dealing father who admitted to her when she was 16 that he had committed more than one murder in the line of duty.

With lasting lightness and surprising gravity, Drugs Are Nice is a definitive account of the generation that wanted to break every rule, but also a story of an artist and a mother becoming an adult on her own terms.
I found "Drugs are Nice" to be, for the most part, an engaging and entertaining memoir of a young woman living her life in an extremely bold, intuitive way.
In "Drugs Are Nice", she continues to write in her titillating trademark style, but this time the topics aren't quite as trite as K-Mart and underpants.

 Downing Street Says...: Alzheimer Drugs/NICE
NICE launched a consultation on the guidance two weeks ago, and that consultation period ended later this month.
Everyone was entitled to put in views, and as part of that, the Department of Health asked NICE if the wider social implications of not approving the drugs use had been fully taken into account.
It was the right thing to do to ask NICE to take into account the benefits to carers, as well as patients of these drugs.

Drugs may however be appropriate for some patients under medical and dietetic supervision.

 PopMatters Books Review | Bookmarks: Brief reviews of new and overlooked books
Drugs Are Nice: A Post-Punk Memoir by Lisa Crystal Carver.
Drugs are Nice chronicles a coming-of-age in the 1980s and early 1990s, when the punk scene was dead and buried, but some time before freaks and outcasts like Lisa could establish ersatz communities online.
Separating Drugs Are Nice from other memoirs of female fringe-dwellers -- like Lisa Falour's I Was For Sale, or Lydia Lunch's Paradoxia) is not only Carver's smart, bright style, but the fact she doesn't gloss over the reality that living an anarchic, post-punk lifestyle doesn't mean you're immune from working a boring day job.

 village voice > books > Lisa Crystal Carver's Drugs Are Nice: A Post-Punk Memoir by Joy Press
Lisa Carver may not be the last of her kind, but she definitely belongs to a dying breed.
She always kept her prose beguiling and clearheaded, even while documenting the most noxious and unhinged characters (foremost among them herself).
Those who figured her as the finest stylist of her generation will feel vindicated by Drugs Are Nice, an amazing elegy for the lost underground of the '80s, whose denizens—that Forced Exposure roll call of GG Allin, Michael Gira, and Lydia Lunch—equated authenticity and edge with abasement, abuse, and rolling in the anti-p.c.

 Guardian | Nice guide to drugs
Dr Jonathan Hillam (Letters, July 20) asks if Nice regards "younger - more economically active" people differently from those who are older.
The answer is a definitive no. What we are seeking to do in requesting further information from the Alzheimer's drug manufacturers is to identify those patients who respond to these drugs.
We may then be able to construct guidance which will help to target their use to patients who do benefit and avoid giving false hope to those who do not.
