Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors and retailers have also received a unanimous vote of the California State Board of Pharmacy, the deadline by two years the implementation of electronic pedigree required for the pursuit of drugs from manufacturers at the pharmacy.
All major players in the chain, be sure to support the principle of the system ePedigree California. Similarly, if it takes place, all elders of the closing date of the 1st January 2009 to meet the requirements tree was simply impossible to implement in practice because the rest of the unanswered questions surrounding the Track and Trace Technology the lack of standardization in the field, and that the costs and challenges of implementation.

These arguments prevailed in the medicine chest of the meeting, on March 25. The deadline for implementation is now back on the 1st January 2011 will mark the second time that the effective date of ePedigree program was expanded in California.

The proposed legislation also has the power to monitor compliance of delay, by January 2011, when the State captain stated that “the producers or wholesalers of the time needed for the implementation of electronic technologies for disseminating Drug dangerous to the state. ”

The medicine chest had, “he said reluctantly to postpone the agreed timeframe, given that most major pharmaceutical companies, manufacturers, distributors and retailers have been unable, for the purposes until ePedigree 1st January 2009.

According to a report published in The New York Times, Pfizer - which makes it something of a pioneering role in the adoption of radio frequency identification (RFID), technology (albeit selectively), followed by the alignment of treatment of erectile dysfunction, Viagra (sildenafil citrate), forgers - Had said, the board would be five to seven years for the serial number on all its products.

Without the grace of two years, it was a risk that the “California supply of drugs, and perhaps the entire United States supply of medicines May welfare with negative consequences on the” shortage Essential Medicines, pharmacy captain warned.

“The board of directors to the conclusion that its primary mission of protecting the public is best served, with a lag allow for a less embarrassing that the implementation of a rush on respect for the industry in the world”, at he explained. The board said there had received “assurances” from representatives of the pharmaceutical industry, that “it can and should be ready for full implementation” not later than 1 January 2009. ”

The reaction to the decision last Tuesday, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), was less reassuring. The vote to delay implementation is “a confirmation of the complexity of legal and technological issues that must still be overcome,” comments PhRMA. “And it is even possible that, over 2011, some of the most important challenges remain and are yet to be resolved.”

The most important thing is that the association adds that the decision “shows aboard recognition of the importance of the protection of patients in the state during the transition to the new e-tree requirements.”

Pharmaceutical Manufacturers reached agreement on the costs and expenses associated with the introduction of changes in the packing lines, which must implement more effectively in Germany, such as the producers do not know that their products are likely to get in Routed by the distribution system in California. Accordingly, they would have preferred a single national system rather than potential state-to-state variations.

Some companies, to see how the requirements in California ePedigree done gradually, starting with the products most susceptible to counterfeiting. The national law does not expressly provide that kind of flexibility, even if the Board of Pharmacy said that it was ready to talk about “grandfathering” requirements for drugs that are in the electronic system without root trees prior to the deadline for compliance.

Allow yourself more time

Industry leaders by the board, so that they can devote more time to a meeting at the Town and Country Resort & Convention Center in Mission Valley on March 25.

Administration Opposes Democrats’ Plan for Negotiating Medicare Drug Prices

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 - The Bush administration said Sunday it effective against a Democrats’ top priority for the new Congress: law allowing the government to begin negotiations with other companies to ensure lower prices for other Medicare beneficiaries.

In an interview, Michael O. Leavitt, the secretary of Health and Human Services, said he can see no prospect of a compromise on the issue.

“In politics,” said Leavitt, “most specific questions such as these are a camouflage for a greater difference. Negotiations for a price other government does not work, unless you have a comprehensive program of government. Democrats say, they want the government to negotiate prices. What they really want is government-led health care. ”

Federal decipher price negotiations, the structure of the entire Medicare drug benefit from the situation, both private competition, “said Leavitt.

Dozens of plans, each State. Different bonuses and supplements and various drugs. The disease in 2003, the law explicitly prohibits the federal government on price negotiations or any other establishment of the list of preferred drugs.

Representatives Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California, which complies with the house, the spokesman, said that Parliament will approve the legislation lifting the ban in the first 100 hours, under democratic control. Senate Democrats have such a desire. The eight Democrats throughout the newly elected Senate say Medicare should have the power to negotiate with other makers.

The government will negotiate big discounts on prices of drugs to our veterans, “said Senator chosen Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota.” However, the company has received other Congresses, to negotiate, to the illegal exploitation of price lowest Medicare.

Leavitt, the secretary general said he did not want more power to negotiate prices. “I do not think I can do a better offer of an efficient market,” he said.

“We see major negotiations with other manufacturers, but they will be subject to other private projects, and not by the government,” said Leavitt. “A sound management of the market with a lot of competitors, pushed prices down. This is the magic of the marketplace. This implies that the government of our genius, could improve these lies the reality is a complex task. ”

If a bill has been negotiating the Congress, it might veto a Presidency of the Republic, according to the details. , “Fox News Sunday,” Dan Bartlett, adviser to the president, said plans private competitors had already more than the cost of price controls would government.

– Democrats have not exactly how Medicare would be negotiations with other companies.

Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the assistant Democratic leader, has a bill states that the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide and operate one or more other Medicare plans, in addition to those already available. The bill sets the secretary to negotiate prices with drug manufacturers by the government projects. Ms. Pelosi is a co-sponsor of a bill similar.

At a press conference last week, President Bush said he wanted to work with the new Democratic majority in Congress. “I think on a number of issues, we can find common ground,” he said.

In December 2005, shortly before the termination of office, the predecessor of Mr. Leavitt, Tommy G. Thompson said he wanted Congress had given him the authority to negotiate prices for Medicare recipient, as he negotiated discounts of antibiotics during the Fear of anthrax in 2001.

Health and pharmaceutical benefit manager using many tools for the price downwards medicine. Indeed, a producer you play off against another, “said James R. Lang, the former president of Anthem Prescription Management, medicines administered benefits for five million people.

Insurers receive discounts in exchange for the use of a drug, and they can be handed over to the greatest threat to move a patient of a product similar to other competitors, “said Lang.

The approach that Mr. Leavitt unacceptable that the name is already in use in other government programs. Under federal law, other policy-makers must be a discount or rebate in the amount of at least 15 percent of the average of most manufacturers named drugs, Medicaid, program for low-income people. From federal law, guarantees for rebates Department of Veterans Affairs, negotiations with the makers of safeguarding top discount guaranteed by law.

F.D.A. Imposes Long-Delayed Rule to Require Tracking of Prescription Drugs

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Long overdue federal regulations with which most wholesalers can trace medicines at the pharmacy door of the factory was finally implemented in December, the Food and Drug Administration said yesterday.

The rules stem from a 1988 law on the fight against counterfeiting by the consideration of a drug’s pedigree, originally developed in the year 1999. But the F.D.A. Had a stay of more times, the rules, because the pharmaceutical industry said it lacked practical methods for tracking and tracing of all its products. Well, we said, the Agency further delay of “pedigree” rules, as they are known, was no longer justified by the fact that the evolution of electronic commerce, technology monitoring, including identification tags digital, which can be scanned by radio waves.

These tags are small enough to get into the individual labels of bottles, and other packages. Tags can contain more information than bar codes are scanned and may further away. And unlike bar codes, grapes among them can be scanned simultaneously. Still, the development and introduction of radio tags have been slowed by concerns about cost, reliability and security.

Dr. Randall Lutter, FDA employees of the Commission responsible for planning and policy, as many participants at a hearing on the issue in February, the Agency, that the rules were needed to increase investment in radio Labelling technology. “The decision on the lifting of the stay is that the” push “, said Dr Addressing a press conference yesterday.

The F.D.A. Design, on the basis of forecasts of the industry during the year 2004, that the new technology would be a big commitment for the year 2007. But the timetable has been agreed on the itinerary. Only a handful of major pharmaceutical companies currently use radio tags on their products, and also in case the technique was not much about the pilot programs. Pfizer has limited the application of the beacon to the entire Viagra shipment of its production units in France, with Purdue Pharma has the pain of Oxycontin and Glaxo Smith Kline began recently Tagging Trizivir, an anti-AIDS - medicine.

The F.D.A. If a lawyer for Radio Frequency Identification, or RFID, the consumer major retailers such as Wal-Mart, manufacturers such as Procter & Gamble and the Department of Defense for standards on labelling, in 2003, to support and l ‘adoption widespread. The retail industry and the Ministry of Defence have, first, on the labelling of pallets and cartons of goods in their supply chains and to avoid bottlenecks, improve efficiency.

But the pharmaceutical industry is facing a difficult challenge to the identification of the various elements of one of the ways to combat counterfeiting and piracy, said aid.

At this point, RFID supporters say that the larger issues of whether the technology is not the product can satisfy the needs of industry, but the frequency of two competing standards to use and how fast it can be profitable rolled out.

Most of the pharmaceutical industry has been tested with the old, so-called high frequency systems, but Wal-Mart and other major customers of the new technology has even more support systems ‘powered ultra-high frequency or UHF bandwidth.

Now, a coalition of businesses, such as RFID Impinj, Alien Technology, Symbol Technologies and ADT / Tyco began, a disk drive for other makers to migrate to UHF.

Another uncertainty F.D.A. Yesterday, the impact of radio signals on biological drugs, the purified proteins. Certainly, there is no evidence of such problems with the technique, the review is limited.

The F.D.A. Stated that the new provisions could be made, with bar codes or even written documents, as well as radio beacons, although it is expected that the industry is a time to adopt the law on radio tags almost universal. Countries such as Florida and California, which since the establishment of its own rules as to the authenticity of drugs have a similar position.

Counterfeiting is about $ 30 billion a global problem for the pharmaceutical industry, from 8 to 10% of drugs sold, according to the World Health Organization. Federal regulators say it is relatively rare in the United States, but it remains a concern, because the distribution system of medicine is changing and much more open to corruption as most Americans to achieve, and refining counterfeiters has increased.

M.S. Drug Can Return, With Limits

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Federal regulators agreed yesterday to the multiple sclerosis drug Tysabri on the market, despite the risk of giving rise to a deadly disease of the brain, a program that monitor accurately physicians, patients and who employ them.

The preparation was early last year after only three months on the market, according to risk was, but an advisory body of the Confederation last March recommended that Tysabri on the market. During the meeting, and sometimes weinerlich testimony, more than two dozen people with multiple sclerosis, the Board that they were prepared to accept the risks associated with drug Tysabri popular, as they are regarded as the best hope for the slowing of the progression of their disease. Tysabri’s makers estimate that perhaps more than 150,000 patients with multiple sclerosis in this country, where other drugs are not effective.

Tysabri, developed by Biogen Idec and Elan, it is clear that the second drug, to go back on its withdrawal from the market, after having for side effects, the first of Lotronex Glaxo Smith Kline, bowel syndrome irritable during 2002. But Tysabri also belongs to an increase in the number of drug users offered access restrictions to reduce the risk of problems by drugs.

The Food and Drug Administration acknowledged that the likelihood that other cases of deaths from the drug, despite the new rules for the application.

All the doctors who provide Tysabri and patients that they, in a follow-up programme. The drug, which, at a cost of more than $ 20000 per year, was withdrawn before it is allowed only on the infusion centers. These centres will be complemented by a checklist, with the patient before each infusion of each month, in an effort to ensure that patients with drug and detect early signs, the rare side effects.

While permission from the FDA to make Tysabri in the market had been expected, investors were not necessarily encouraged by the restrictions on the agency. On a down day for the stock market in general Tysabri, the two distributors of American society biotech Biogen Idec and Irish drug maker Elan - fell to the FDA News. Biogen was almost 5 percent to $ 45.39. Elan fell nearly 13 percent to $ 16.52.

On the day before the withdrawal of Tysabri had announced in February 2005, Biogen share had closed at 67.28 dollars, and Elan’s at $ 26.90.

Analyses Tysabri could once thought a turnover of $ 2 billion per year or more. Most forecasts of time, although some analysts expect perhaps even the turnover of 1 billion United States dollars in excess. Geoffrey C. Porges of Sanford C. Bernstein & Company revenues estimated at $ 35 million this year, rising to $ 946 million in 2011.

The FDA’s plans, as they are known, drugs can be, moreover, forbidden to stay in the market, such as the drug thalidomide for cancer and Accutane for acne, both can contribute to birth serious mistakes. But as such plans multiply, some say doctors and pharmacists, it is also time of confusion and keep each.

“All this policy of restrictive drug distribution system took off like Topsy,” said Henri R. Jr. Manasseh, the Chief Executive of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, who said he knew of 26 such plans.

“In all cases, it takes an enormous amount of time to manage this restricted distribution system,” he said. “There is no similarity and uniformity of drugs to drugs.”

Some dermatologists have bitter on the system to prevent pregnant women, Accutane, he says an obstacle to access to the drug.

A Juror’s Question That Went Unanswered: ‘How Dare You Violate That Oath?’

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

There were several reasons why it jurors more than 11 hours to reach guilty of judgments in the states of extortion trial version of Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa, the former criminal police because of the participation of eight murders the Mob.

The possibility that the defendants were honorable men innocent of all excesses, was not one of them.

“We had no doubt about the fact that they were found guilty,” said juror No. 12, a building safety official from Long Island to 50 from its shelves, under the condition of anonymity, because he does not want the World to know what he was up to in recent months.

The juror said he found the defendants to be present at many of the murders during carry the identity card of the New York Police Department, the nature horrible.

“When you sign an oath, an oath as precious as a policeman, and the duty to protect and serve the man, who is the highest ever swear,” said the juror, echoed the public prosecutor in the case. “It’s like, ‘How are you, against sworn that you received? They turn around and break, and return, and it is time for emotion and not once, do something However, I think I was a little outgoing. ”

“When we woke up in the morning and take your wife to kiss,” he added, “and do this, and then to come home and to wake up and take him, without regret, then I am sorry, forgotten. ”

The most difficult part of the work, said the juror, has been seen by tens of taxes and to ensure that the Crown had every element of them.

It was also difficult, he said, to find that 19 year spree of murder, money laundering, obstruction of justice and other distribution could be considered a single conspiracy, since any conspiracy end, more than five years before the date of the arrest of men in 2005 outside the statute of limitations. However, the jury said that the United States, Office of the lawyer and widely linked the son of the former detectives from the life of crime.

Regarding the defence lawyers, the juror gave them clearly mixed reviews.

“In my opinion, Ed Hayes - special counsel,” said the juror, Mr. Caracappa lawyer. “I would have him in my corner every day. Maybe, if it is a little more for the work, he would have around him. ”

But Mr. Eppolito lawyer, Bruce Cutler, known for his work in cases of organized crime, it is not “very good, a little dramatic for my taste,” said the juror.

The jury itself has received good marks for several of the victims’ families. “It’s closure for us,” said 28-year-old girl by Israel Greenwald, whose officials killed in the year 1986. “Finally, justice served,” said the woman, who only their first names, Yael. “It’s a miracle.”

The juror said, is seated on a high-profile organized crime has often been the case disturbing. Between the media and other mob mob consistently called, “We were very, very frightened,” he said.

But jurors found comfort and security in another. “We went together, we are against each other, we make sure that we knew that everyone was increasingly safe at home,” said the juror. “We did not want to go home and discover the next few days, the shortage, because someone, say, a car on the side of stone.”
