A longtime reader who has all of her faculties wants to sound the alarm on a financial scam that preys on the elderly.

Two days before the Medicare prescription drug plan deadline this month, she got a call from someone who wanted to get her signed up for a plan. She hadn't signed up yet because her prescriptions were affordable.

The offer was from "the biggest insurance company in New York," according to the telemarketer. Our reader thought the government was so far behind in getting folks signed up that it turned to foreign workers to get it done. "I kind of felt sorry for them," she said.

The caller turned up the nice level and convinced her to get on their plan. All they needed was her Social Security number and some bank account information so they could draft a $377 start-up fee.

She got suspicious and immediately got to her bank to stop any such transaction. She alerted the police and her congressman and now she wants to alert her fellow central Oklahoma residents.

"But don't use my name," she said. "My kids would have me committed."

Canada's health ministry on Friday warned people with high blood pressure, heart disease and a number of other medical ailments not to take drugs used to manage Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Health Canada said that in rare cases, people with these conditions who took the drugs could suffer "rare heart-related side effects." In a statement, it warned people not to give up the drugs before consulting their doctor.

Millions take the drugs to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, which causes trouble with focus as well as hyperactivity and impulsiveness.

"All ADHD drugs stimulate the heart and blood vessels ... The effects are usually mild or moderate, but in some patients this stimulation may -- in rare cases -- result in cardiac arrests, strokes or death," said Health Canada.

The drugs should be shunned by those with high blood pressure, heart disease or abnormalities, hardening of the arteries or those with an overactive thyroid gland, it added.

Reviewers at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have been working for months to analyze reports of sudden deaths, heart attacks and strokes as well as psychotic behavior such as hallucinations suffered by those who took the drugs.

In March, a panel of U.S. medical advisors called for new information about heart risks to be added to labeling for ADHD medications but stopped short of recommending tougher measures.

The drug-compounding industry scored a major victory this week as a federal court ruled compounded drugs are outside U.S. FDA reach.

A federal district court in Midland, Texas, held Thursday that compounded preparations are not "new, unapproved drugs," according to a statement issued Friday by the non-profit group International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists.

The decision spares drug-compounding pharmacies from having to meet strict Food and Drug Administration regulations on drug safety and efficacy before they can market their products.

"This landmark ruling stops the FDA's encroachment on the authority of state boards of pharmacy in its tracks and it ensures that patients and physicians will continue to have access to compounded medicines on which they rely," said L.D. King, IACP's executive director.

"For years, FDA told pharmacists that what they were doing -- compounding medicines to fill doctors' prescriptions -- was illegal," the group said.

"This ruling lifts the veil of uncertainty from pharmacy compounding and once again allows pharmacists to serve their patients confidently. That the judge ruled from the bench shows us just how strong the plaintiffs' case was."

However, two other issues still remain before the court: the scope of the FDA's authority to inspect pharmacies' records and the pharmacies' ability to compound using bulk active ingredients for the manufacture of drugs not intended for food animals, including treatments for companion animals and zoo animals.

The case -- Medical Center Pharmacy, et al. vs. Gonzalez -- was originally filed by nine pharmacies in September 2004. The IACP was not a party to the action but said it filed Amicus Curiae briefs in support of the plaintiffs.

How close are researchers in their discovery of a magic pill for weight loss? When Phentermine was introduced for the first time, people thought that they have finally found the drug that they were always looking for. In fact, there is always the euphoria whenever a new weight loss drug is launched. Over-weight, unlike other illnesses takes time to be cured. Besides the treatment is often too onerous demanding too much perseverance from the individual. With every drug that is launched, people expect that they will be relieved from weight without this struggle. Does phentermine reach the expectations of people?

 

Phentermine continues to be popular until today. It is one of the most purchased weight loss drugs all around the world. Around 50% of the weight loss drugs have phentermine as a major ingredient in them. In spite of this, the popularity of phentermine has not been because it reached people's expectations. It was an advancement over the drugs at the time in the weight loss segment.

 

Phentermine is helpful to treat the overweight condition. Phentermine is an appetite suppressant that belongs to the class of drugs known as Anorectics. They affect serotonin levels in the brain and thus decrease food cravings. In this manner, the individual feels lesser consumption of food and calories.

 

Phentermine does not make tall promises. It does not claim to be a magical pill. People who use it will however find acceleration in the rate of reduction in fat. Therefore, taking phentermine along with balanced diet and daily workout will surely give positive results. People who are suffering from obesity and obesity related diseases must only use phentermine pills. Those who are undergoing medication for heart problems will be advised to stay away from phentermine.

 

Phentermine is available in two different formulas. These are immediate release or time-release formulas. Phentermine pills with an immediate release formula create an immediate impact. As soon as they are taken, they will enter the blood stream and begin the action.  Time-release Phentermine capsules differ from these, since they will release the medicine into the body over an extended period of time, which spans over 8 to 12 hours.

 

It is advised that people who are undergoing treatment with phentermine tablets or capsules may not engage in hazardous and difficult work like driving, operating machinery etc. The period of use of phentermine will be for shorter terms such as 12 weeks.

 

Even after a patient stops using Phentermine, ones body will not be acclimatized to this immediately. It will need time to adjust, with the time depending on the quantum of Phentermine being used and the period of use.

 

Use of phentermine does not mean that we stop eating properly or lead a sedentary lifestyle. Phentermine will work well only if individual gives continued attention to these two aspects of life.

With many a portal looking for innovative ways and means to woo the customers online to sell whatever ware they have on offer, a totally niche concept of web marketing has been on the rise. As people look for every item they wish to buy on the Internet through the search engines, companies have developed ways and means to juice up the popular search engines like the omnipotent google, yahoo, msn and the likes. A drug like Viagra is one of the most sought after product on the net. To stay ahead in the competition that involves many online Viagra vendors, different tools like keywords optimization, back links etc have been incorporated.

 

Viagra is the key. It is plain logic that a person who likes to buy Viagra would use the word 'Viagra' in his search for the erectile dysfunction drug online. Rarely would a person key in a word that is not related to Viagra if he's planning to buy Viagra. Would you? So, what does a Viagra vendor do, keeping in mind this particular psychological aspect of the buyers? He would try to inculcate in the content of his site, words like Viagra, buy Viagra, buy Viagra online, cheap Viagra, Viagra online, discounted Viagra and a plethora of such keywords that millions of buyers use, while going through google search or yahoo search. And well, they are just one of the few ways to oil google and the search engines to boost up your site ranking.  

 

Well, what does it all mean? Simply put, an illegal Viagra hawker, who provides you nothing about the drug mechanisms, benefits, side effects, dosages, storage information and other vital information that are a 'must-know' for a Viagra user can occupy the top rank in Viagra search for google, yahoo or msn, by employing the search engine optimization techniques.

 

Just check for yourself and you will be surprised at the damage that has been already done, using the tool for wrong ends. Go through 'Viagra' or 'buy Viagra' search in google and you will find that more than half of the sites that come in the first page have Buy Viagra, Buy Cheap Viagra, Discounted Viagra, Viagra Online, Best Price, Best Place to Buy Viagra etc. written all over the page, and yes, they don't forget to give a link to the pharmacies where you can buy only the best and cheap Viagra.

 

But, never do they mention the indications, contraindications, drug interactions, side effects, safe drug usage et al. Well, a word of advice, don't trust them.

 

Have I placed you in a dilemma? You might as well ask me, who to trust and where to buy Viagra from?

 

Most people who order Viagra online do it for some special reason or the other; either they don't have the guts to walk up the counter with a prescription to buy Viagra or there are no regular pharmacies nearby. Let's keep aside the case of the illegal Viagra buyers, who buy Viagra without prescriptions for reasons best known to them; I have no worries about them.

 

As far as my experience goes, it's not the sites with the buy Viagra, cheap Viagra, best Viagra online and the likes plastered all over them that give you the information on the right Viagra dosage, along with an expert follow up. They are no less than the touts peddling illegal fakes in the roadside; avoid them as you do a plague or an epidemic. Always look for sites with authentic Viagra information.

 

There are many sites that provide instructive and educational information on the use of Viagra. With their latest news, researches, critical and analytical articles, many of these sites keep themselves abreast of the recent happenings in the erectile dysfunction drug market. It is safe to buy Viagra online from these well-informed vendors, because they know what they are selling, and the effects it will have on your sexual well being.

 

It is a matter of your sexual health and it is imperative that you know everything from the efficacy and benefits to the potential side effects about the drug that you are buying. Always check out for the latest health information in an all-encompassing and comprehensive article site like Ezine. The articles written by expert authors on the subject in the Ezine article site can be of tremendous help to you in understanding the dysfunction and the drug.

 

And most important of all, the authors can lead you to authentic sites from where you can buy Viagra online.

Main Line seniors racing to make the May 15 Medicare Prescription Drug Plan deadline faced several confused months trying to figure out which of the more than 50 plans would be right for them.

In the months leading up to the deadline, people debated that the plan was too complicated for seniors, and then everyone realized it was too complicated for everyone.

The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act was signed by President George W. Bush in December of 2003. The act was designed to provide seniors with more options and more savings in their prescription drug plans. People were eligible to begin signing up in January of this year. The theory behind the plan was that private companies would compete to create the best plans for seniors to choose from.

Adults helped their senior parents choose the right plan, senior centers gave seniors advice and pharmacy staff counseled seniors about which plans would cover the drugs they take.

According to recent national news reports, the government estimates that about 90 percent of seniors signed up for a plan, leaving 4.5 million people still without prescription drug coverage. Some organizations like the AARP and some congressmen have called for an end to the penalty that would increase a person's annual premium by 1 percent of the national premium average for each month a person remains unenrolled. Those who oppose eliminating the penalty or extending the deadline say the penalty would only cost an extra couple of dollars per month, and certain people such a those living below the poverty level, would face no penalty. The next opportunity to enroll will begin Nov. 15 and run to Dec. 31, 2006.

Joseph Annarelli, a pharmacist at J.B. Merrick Apothecary in Ardmore, said May 15 wasn't very busy with questions, but some people have had problems trying to use their new plans.

A coalition of health-related and senior citizens organizations is launching a new campaign for legislation to ban pharmaceutical companies from advertising drugs directly to consumers.

The effort to ban the ads is being led by an anti-advertising organization founded by Ralph Nader, Commercial Alert, and a group promoting "social justice" in the health care system, the National Women's Health Network.

"Prohibition, that's what's best for public health," the executive director of Commercial Alert, Gary Ruskin, said in an interview. In a statement, he called the ads "dishonest and dangerous" and said they have increased the damage done by drugs with harmful side effects.

Mr. Ruskin said the ads encourage patients to demand prescriptions from physicians for drugs that may be ineffective or even dangerous. More than 200 physicians at prominent medical schools have announced support for an advertising ban.

Mr. Ruskin has drafted legislation, dubbed the Public Health Protection Act, which has won the endorsement of 39 organizations. He said efforts to find a congressional sponsor have just begun. "First, you build the legislative coalition, then you start to find somebody who will introduce it," he said.

A trade group for the drug industry said yesterday that prohibiting such ads, which are ubiquitous on television, would be ill advised.

"A ban on the advertising of prescription medicines would hurt patients' ability to learn about new medicines in a timely fashion and does not advance quality health care," a senior vice president at the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, Ken Johnson, said in a statement. So-called direct-to-consumer advertising "empowers patients, increasing people's awareness of diseases and available treatments," he said.

An attorney with a pro-business legal advocacy group, the Washington Legal Foundation, charged that the proposal violates the First Amendment.

"Very clearly, it's unconstitutional," the lawyer, Richard Samp, said. "The opponents of advertising essentially are saying let's stop advertising because too much truth and information is bad for people.... The Supreme Court absolutely rejected that rationale."

Mr. Ruskin conceded that an outright ban on drug advertising may not pass muster in the courts. He said that's why he included fallback provisions in the proposed legislation that would take away federal tax deductions for such ads, require new disclaimers, and impose a 3% windfall profits tax on drug companies.

"The constitutionality of a ban on direct-to-consumer prescription drug advertising is unclear, so because of that we need to have a backup," the anti-advertising activist said. "As advocates we have to advocate for the best public health solution.... Unfortunately, there's a series of bad court decisions which have given corporations more constitutional rights than they should have."

Do you have the confidence to beat the summer heat with a trendy pair of shorts and a figure-hugging T-shirt? Or, do you dread baring even the smallest part of your body? If the second choice holds true for you, then its time you hit the nearest gym as soon as possible. It is a known fact that following dramatic increases in overweight and obesity among US adults, obesity has reached epidemic proportions. According to recent surveys, 30 percent of adults are obese. Moreover, the epidemic is not limited to adults. Among children and adolescents aged 6–19 years, 16 percent are considered overweight.
You need to carry out a plan to balance your caloric intake with exercise if you wish to successfully lose weight. Ideally, dieting should be done by eating a nutritionally balanced, low-calorie diet and increasing physical activity. However, once you have lost weight, you should not stop there. You also need to maintain a healthy weight. To do so, you need to make daily, even hourly, decisions about what you consume and what you expend through activity.
On a much broader level, supportive population-based environments can be created through public policies that promote the availability and accessibility of a variety of low-fat, high-fiber foods, and that provide opportunities for physical activity. In addition, healthy behaviors can be promoted to encourage, motivate, and enable individuals to lose weight. However, the simplest but still difficult approach to weight loss is reducing calories and exercising at least 150 minutes a week. According to a study, only about 20 percent of people who try to lose weight use these effective methods.
Always remember that becoming a slimmer and healthier you is all about eating healthy and physical activity. Regular physical activity is not only important for your overall health and fitness, it also helps you control body weight by balancing the calories you take in with the calories you expend each day. You need to be physically active, at a moderate intensity for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. However, to control body weight and prevent weight gain, you need to increase the intensity or the amount of time to 60 minutes a day.
It should be noted that many physicians have limited time as well as training in nutrition and weight management and some may be tempted to prescribe diet pills, particularly when urged by the patient without even trying the diet and exercise regime. It is for this reason that FDA has approved several appetite suppressants or diet pills, such as Phentermine for treating obesity. This particular appetite suppressant helps people on calorie-restricted diets adhere more closely to their diet. Owing to the growing competition among various diet pills, you can get cheap Phentermine in the market. In addition, you can easily buy Phentermine online at your own convenience.

Efforts to improve health in developing nations received a boost this week with news of major funding to find faster-acting tuberculosis drugs, and a new partnership aiming to develop the next generation of malaria drugs.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is providing US$104 million for the TB research, according to an announcement made today (25 May) by the TB Alliance, a public-private partnership that will undertake the work.

The money will accelerate the development of 11 potential drugs, with the long-term goal of treating the disease with just ten doses.

Current TB drugs were developed more than 40 years ago, involve about 130 doses and take at least six months to work.

"New treatments could free patients from the gruelling six-month regimen and, ultimately, save millions of lives," says Peter Small, senior program officer at the Gates Foundation.

Multi-drug resistant forms of the TB bacterium are more likely to emerge if patients do not complete their treatment or if their drug supply is interrupted.

An additional problem is that while TB is the leading cause of death for people with HIV/AIDS, standard TB and HIV drugs cannot be combined easily (see Warning over drug for patients with TB and HIV).

The products approved by WHO are Efavirenz 600 mg tablets, Efavirenz 200 mg capsules, Stavudine 30 mg capsules and Stavudine 40 mg capsules, the company said in a statement.

"This is a significant development. We strongly feel that generic ARVs are essential in the struggle against HIV/AIDS and are committed to providing high quality, cost effective generics," the Ranbaxy CEO and Managing Director, Mr Malvinder Mohan Singh, said. With these inclusions, Ranbaxy now has a total of 12 ARVs on the WHO pre-qualification list.

It also has three approvals from USFDA for ARVs, making it eligible for supplying to the US funded PEPFAR programme.

"Efavirenz is rapidly becoming a preferred drug in the HIV treatment programme in developing countries.

"The other newly listed drug, Stavudine, is also being widely used as a first line of therapy against AIDS. Both products increase customer choice enabling patients to access therapy easily, at affordable prices," Mr Singh said.

Ranbaxy has been providing ARVs at affordable prices to countries and patients afflicted by HIV/AIDS

Tuberculosis, one of the world's biggest killers, is spreading globally and gaining in virulence as some strains are learning to evolve into almost bullet-proof bugs dubbed "XDR-TB."

The X stands for "extreme" and often translates into an incurable, deadly disease.

"We desperately need better and faster-acting drugs for TB," said Dr. Peter Small, head of the tuberculosis program at the Seattle-based Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

To assist in this increasingly desperate endeavor, the Seattle philanthropy today announced that it has given $104 million to a non-profit, international organization called the Global Alliance for TB Drug Development (or, more commonly, the TB Alliance).

"When we formed about five years ago, there was not a single TB drug in the (research and development) pipeline," said Maria Freire, president of the TB Alliance. The organization has offices in New York, Brussels and Cape Town, South Africa.

Today, partly due to the first $25 million the Gates Foundation donated in February 2000 to help launch the initiative, Freire said the group and its partners have two new TB drugs in clinical trials and nine other candidate drugs under development.

The new Gates grant, she said, will help bring one of the new antibiotic drugs called moxifloxacin through phase 2 studies and into the large-scale phase 3 clinical tests needed before it can be widely distributed. Made by Bayer Healthcare, this antibiotic could significantly reduce the treatment time required to cure patients, experts believe.

"One of the key problems with the treatment is simply the length of time it takes to work," said Dr. Jaime Bayona, director of Socios en Salud (Partners in Health), a TB-focused program in Peru affiliated with Harvard University and the world-renowned health advocate Dr. Paul Farmer.

"These drugs (in use today) are over 40 years old," said Bayona. A routine TB case, he noted, typically requires an infected person to swallow nearly a dozen pills a day for six to nine months.

National experts on prescription drug legislation will meet with legislators and A-A-R-P leaders in Albany today to discuss ways to make prescription drugs affordable and accessible to all New Yorkers.A-A-R-P is pressing for a new law to require drug companies to disclose how much they spend on gifts to doctors. Another A-A-R-P backed measure would allow the state to bulk purchase its drugs and use the savings to establish a discount drug card for New Yorkers in need.

The gift disclosure bill is sponsored by Republican Senator George Maziarz and Democratic Assemblyman Alexander Grannis. Currently, California, Maine, Vermont, West Virginia, Minnesota and the District of Columbia have laws or resolutions affecting pharmaceutical marketing.

You can't avoid the rapidly rising costs of prescription drugs. Even if you have insurance coverage, costs are increasingly being passed on to consumers, as employers raise premiums, drop insurance coverage or shift to high-deductible plans without drug coverage.

The battle to control drug costs will escalate even further as drug companies introduce cutting-edge remedies into the market that promise astonishing results at a truly jaw-dropping cost. That new cancer drug that could prolong your life might not do you much good if the insurance company won't cover its $100,000-a-year price tag.

Contrast the bright hopes that such medical breakthroughs promise patients with the many new, but only slightly improved, brand-name drugs that offer treatment for ulcers, high blood pressure and allergies at many times the cost of generic or over-the-counter medicines that produce almost the same results. No wonder consumers are confused.

It's easy to blame the drug companies, the government and retail drug outlets for the hype, high costs and misleading information about prescription drugs. But you can fight back.

"Any patient on maintenance medication needs to openly communicate with his or her physician not only about the prescribed drug and what it is supposed to do, but also about your ability to pay," says Mike Patton, executive director of the Illinois Pharmacists Association. "Too often, these conversations don't happen. But consumers really need to take control of their own health care and find out if there are more affordable alternatives."

Opening a dialogue with your doctor is just the first step. You also need to discuss potential alternative medications with your pharmacist and take advantage of Web sites and services that help you compare the costs of prescription drugs from one outlet to the next. Studies estimate that shopping around can save you anywhere from 30 percent to 50 percent on your prescription drug costs.

Why drugs cost so much
While the percentage increase in the cost of prescription drugs is slowing somewhat, drug prices are still rising faster than overall consumer prices. Between 1995 and 2003, the cost of prescription drugs rose at double-digit rates from year to year, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit foundation that provides health care information and analysis.

Factors behind cost increases include a jump in the number of prescriptions being written, the increased use of brand-name drugs and sheer price markups on the part of drug makers, says Chris Robbins, CEO of Arxcel, a prescription benefit management firm.

"Higher drug utilization has driven new drugs to market, drugs have fewer side effects, people are getting older and we are treating illness more aggressively."

Drug companies spend an average of $802 million to bring the typical drug to market, according to the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development. Costs are also affected by drug company sales, advertising and marketing efforts and pharmacy markups. Recent breakthrough biotechnology drugs can cost insurers and patients from $2,000 to $3,000 per month, Robbins says.

sometimes also called as male impotence can be described as the repeated inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. It is quite common and affects millions of men.

In the past it was firmly believed that psychological troubles are the reasons for this problem but with technical advancement in medical science it has been proved that 80 to 90 percent of impotence is caused by physical problems, usually related to the blood supply of the penis. It has also become apparent that impotence can be treated at any age. In fact, the awareness of this fact is growing day by day and more men are now seeking help and returning to normal sexual activity.

By far, the most common and popular drug for the treatment of impotence is Viagra. It is estimated that in the United States, more than 5 million men have used it to improve their sexual life. It is cheap and can be consumed orally. The drug has been the topic of discussion since its launch in the market.

The side effects of Viagra are not many and that is the reason for its instant popularity. The side effects include headache, facial flushing, and stomach upset.

However, with little precautions Viagra can be taken without any apprehensions. One should always remember that Viagra is a prescription medication and should take it only after consultation with a doctor. One should check with a doctor if his heart is healthy enough to handle the extra strain of sexual activity. Any kind of chest pain, dizziness, or nausea during sex should be shared with the doctor and the intake of Viagra stopped immediately.

So stop thinking now and buy Viagra from Viagra pharmacy to improve your sex life.

Merlin McFarland said he wants to continue serving seniors at his Wichita drugstore, but the Medicare prescription drug program is making it tougher for him and other small pharmacists to stay in business.

McFarland owns Professional Pharmacy on North Waco along with drugstores in Cheney and Kingman. He took out an extra $200,000 line of credit to cover costs at the beginning of this year, thinking he would need extra cash in reserve while insurance companies switched to new reimbursement systems under the new drug program.

The credit was exhausted by the end of January.

The disruption brought McFarland to Washington on Tuesday, where druggists met with lawmakers about what to do about slow insurance payments they say are hurting their businesses.

Reps. Jerry Moran, R-Hays, and Dennis Moore, D-Lenexa, called for lawmakers to support a bill requiring speedier payments.

"The only thing that's worse than not getting paid to cover your costs is to not be paid at all," Moran said. "That's what we're experiencing."

Drug and insurance companies say that while the new drug benefit has had its bumps, pharmacists' fears are exaggerated. Any changes made "should be between plans and pharmacies, not micromanaged by the government," said Mark Merritt, president of the Pharmaceutical Care Management Association.

The Medicare prescription drug plan has faced criticism since full implementation began this year.

About 43 million seniors nationwide are eligible for the plan. By the May 15 deadline for signing up without a penalty, the Bush administration said that up to 90 percent of those seniors had prescription drug coverage, either through Medicare or other plans.

Critics think that estimate is optimistic. They maintain that the program is confusing to seniors and cumbersome for health care providers.

McFarland said that before the new benefit's bureaucracy took over, it would take about a week to receive an insurance company payment. Now, it's 30 to 35 days.

That has put a crunch on him and other pharmacists, especially those who own smaller, independent drugstores.

"Basically, I now have to have enough cash available to cover 30 days of sales," he said. That makes business more difficult, especially at the Wichita pharmacy, which has more senior-citizen customers, he said.

Moran and Moore, who both voted against the Medicare drug bill, and Rep. Todd Tiahrt, R-Goddard, who voted for it, all said they support the pharmacy fix. A bill that Moran and Moore are co-sponsoring would require Medicare drug plan providers to offer electronic direct deposit of reimbursements to participating pharmacies. It would then require electronic claims to be paid within 14 days, and all other claims within 30 days.

It also tries to raise profit margins for generic drugs, which small pharmacists say they need so they can keep providing them.

Getting the legislation approved is far from certain.

Merritt, whose association has ties with drug and insurance companies, said before a congressional subcommittee Tuesday that plans to mandate quicker payments would increase costs to taxpayers and consumers. A 30-day payment cycle is standard in the health care industry, he said.

With the prescription drug benefit just starting, many in Congress are reluctant to change it until its consequences are fully understood. Moran said that may be too late.

"It's imperative that we set aside the political bickering and solve the problem," he said.

CLARION -- Area pharmacists say the prescription discount card program offered through the National Association of Counties is serving Clarion County residents well.

"It has made a difference," said CVS Pharmacist Amy Fagan.

Fagan said since January, CVS has filled 231 prescriptions for people using the cards.

Other pharmacists like Eric Conti of Kmart said they don't have an exact count on the number of prescriptions they've filled for customers using the cards but are certain people are taking advantage of the savings.

"Customers are happy with it," said Klingensmith's Drug Store Pharmacist Denny Smith.

Smith said it enables customers without insurance to at least get medications at a discount.

The discounts vary from medication to medication, explained Marianne Pharmacy Pharmacist Stephanie Sigel, but "it's been working."

Fagan said she also recommends the discount cards in cases when a person has insurance but their coverage does not include a particular drug.

"I would rather see our patients have more affordable drugs," Fagan said.

Fagan said customers also have been taking advantage of the cards for their pet's medications. Fagan said in rural areas pet insurance is not common.

Pharmacists also said they have no concerns with the program.

Fagan said to prevent people from other counties trying to obtain the cards, CVS employees verify the customer's address.

Clarion County commissioners decided to renew the county's membership with NACo in 2006 for about $860 so residents could benefit from the program, said Clarion County Commissioner Donna Hartle.

NACo reports the average discount per prescription is about $12.88. Caremark administers the prescription drug discount card program.

" Clarion County is proud to be one of the counties nationwide participating with NACo," the Clarion County commissioners said. "The NACo prescription discount card offers significant savings for the uninsured and underinsured residents of our county, and even those fortunate to have prescription coverage can use the card to save money on drugs that are not covered by their health plan. Residents do not have to be Medicare beneficiaries to be eligible for this program."

Prescription refill regulations have been relaxed for TRICARE participants in three flooded states.

 

The TRICARE Management Activity administers the military health care system, TRICARE.

 

Retroactive to May 16, TRICARE Management is allowing beneficiaries to refill their prescriptions "as needed" in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and York County, Maine. The areas have been declared disaster areas by their respective governors.

 

Normally, participants are only allowed to refill prescriptions when 75 percent of the medicine has been used.

 

The temporary adjustment does not apply to schedule II narcotics, which still require a new prescription.
