lifestyle No Comments »

40% of generic drugs are now made by just one manufacturer. “There is no Plan B,” fmr. generic drug executive Bill Simmons explains. Fmr. group purchasing executive Ross Day says, “The government could play a role in keeping some of these drug manufacturers viable.”

“60 Minutes” is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen’s Top 10.

Drugs expert Jon Ramsey explains the huge variation in the content of commonly available ecstasy tablets. Tests he conducted on pills confiscated at the 2009 Glastonbury Festival showed that just 8% of all tablets studied contained any of the substance MDMA – the drug most users would expect to find in an ‘ecstasy’ tablet.

Transcript:

The birth control pill is safe and super simple: you swallow one tiny pill every day and that’s it — you’re protected from pregnancy. But you have to take it every day, so use an alarm or app to help you remember. And the pill doesn’t prevent the spread of STDs, so use condoms along with the pill to help protect yourself from both pregnancy and STDs.

Like other medications, the pill has possible side effects, but they usually go away in the first few months. It has lots of benefits too. The pill can clear up acne, ease cramps, and make your periods lighter and more regular. Want to get on the pill? Your nearest Planned Parenthood health center can hook you up.

Medicine Digestion: What Happens After You Swallow a Pill?

lifestyle No Comments »

When you swallow a pill, it enters your digestive system and travels down the esophagus to the stomach. Once in the stomach, the pill dissolves and releases its contents, which then get absorbed into the bloodstream. The liver then filters the medication and metabolizes it. Any remaining medication then travels to the kidneys for elimination through urine. However, certain factors like food, medication interactions, and health conditions can affect how quickly and efficiently a pill is digested. #animation #shorts #digestion #medicine

A contraceptive pill is 99% effective if taken according to the instructions given by a gynecologist. However, most people can sometimes forget or skip a pill or two. This means that about 9 out of 100 pill users can risk getting pregnant each year.

The efficacy of the pill largely relies on your efficiency in being able to follow the routine perfectly. Do not forget to take your pills daily, and start your pill packs on time.

Other conditions that may affect the efficacy of the pills:
Diarrhea for more than 48 hours (2 days) may affect pill efficacy
Pills have been known to lose efficacy in people who are overweight

Most people ask gynecologists, how long do birth control pills take to work?

The duration depends mainly on when you start taking them and what type of pills you’re using. You can start taking birth control pills any day of the month. However, it’s advisable to use condoms for at least a week as a backup.

This duration needed for the pills to start working also depends on the type of pills.
Combination contraceptive pills if taken within 5 days after the commencement of your period, will protect you from pregnancy right away. For example, if you get your period on a Sunday morning, then you can start the pill anytime till Friday morning.
If you start combination pills after the first 5 days, then you need to keep taking the pills for 7 days, before they will protect you from pregnancy.

Talk to a gynecologist online for more info about the different contraceptive pills and tips on using them.

Aspirin Capsule Animation

lifestyle No Comments »

Aspirin Capsule Animation

VAZALORE is an immediate release aspirin available over-the-counter (OTC). It is the first and only FDA-approved liquid-filled aspirin capsule that uniquely delivers aspirin. This innovative delivery system releases aspirin in the duodenum which subsequently decreases exposure to the stomach, reducing the risk of stomach erosions and ulcers.

The capsule provides fast and reliable aspirin absorption to help prevent future heart attacks or clot-related strokes in patients with vascular disease and diabetic patients who are candidates for aspirin therapy. The aspirin also helps relieve aches and pains.

This OTC animation was created to explore the mechanism of action (MoA) of the capsules using engaging scientific visuals to explain delivery and absorption, and the benefits in comparison to other aspirin products on the market.

This medical animation was created for PLx Pharma to explain the science to consumers, Healthcare Professionals (HCPs), and investors. The animation is hosted on the VAZALORE product page as well as on the VAZALORE HCP website. Stills from the animation can be found on the technology page to help aid the explanation of the drug delivery platform.
