Voltaren
First US approval for a prescription NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) treatment that can be applied directly to site of osteoarthritis pain — Voltaren Gel is the only prescription topical medication proven to significantly reduce osteoarthritis pain in both the knees and the joints of the hands — Offers highly effective pain relief with minimal drug absorption throughout the body – shown to be 94% less than comparable oral diclofenac treatment.
Parsippany, NJ (PRWEB) October 23, 2007 — Voltaren® Gel (diclofenac sodium topical gel) 1% has received US regulatory approval as the first topical prescription treatment that patients can apply directly to sites of pain associated with osteoarthritis.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted the approval to Novartis for Voltaren Gel, which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medication, for use in treating pain associated with osteoarthritis in joints amenable to topical treatment, such as the knees and those of the hands.
Osteoarthritis is a chronic condition characterized by the breakdown of cartilage in the joint.
Clinical trials have demonstrated Voltaren Gel to be highly effective in treating osteoarthritis pain in the hands and knees, which are the body’s most commonly affected joints. It is the first prescription topical osteoarthritis treatment to have proven its effectiveness in both the knees and joints of the hands through clinical trials. Voltaren Gel delivers effective pain relief with a favorable safety profile as its systemic absorption is 94% less than the comparable oral diclofenac treatment.
“Voltaren Gel is proven to be effective for osteoarthritis of the hand and knee and has a favorable safety profile. The combination of benefit and safety provides a welcome new treatment approach for osteoarthritis, offering patients an alternative to oral therapies,” said Roy Altman, MD, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Rheumatology and Immunology at UCLA in Los Angeles and Past President of the Osteoarthritis Research Society International. “Voltaren Gel delivers the proven efficacy of diclofenac with significantly less systemic absorption, minimizing the risk of side effects.”
The efficacy and safety of Voltaren Gel were studied in more than 900 patients with knee or hand osteoarthritis. The US approval was based on several studies, including the results of two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled efficacy studies and a 12-month safety study.
Voltaren Gel was shown to significantly reduce pain in hand and knee osteoarthritis, with pain relief sustained through the end of treatment. After six weeks of treatment in an efficacy study of patients with osteoarthritis of the hand, results showed that pain levels were reduced by nearly half (46%). In a 12-week study in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, Voltaren Gel showed a 51% reduction in pain.
“Voltaren Gel represents an important clinical milestone – it is the first prescription topical treatment in the US shown to relieve osteoarthritis pain and to clinically prove efficacy in treating both the knees and hands,” said Jorge Insuasty, MD, Senior Vice President, Research and Development, Novartis Consumer Health, Inc. “Patients now have the option to effectively treat osteoarthritis pain directly at the source with favorable tolerability.”
Approximately 21 million people in the US have osteoarthritis,1 and the aging population in the US means 72 million more will be at risk for developing the condition by 2030.2 Osteoarthritis is a chronic, painful condition that often leads to working limitations and reduced overall health.3
About osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a chronic condition characterized by the breakdown of cartilage in the joint. Cartilage cushions the ends of the bones in joints – such as knees, hands, elbows, wrists, ankles and feet – which allows for easy movement. When cartilage erodes, bones can rub together, resulting in pain and loss of free movement in the joint.3 The most common symptoms include pain, joint soreness, stiffness and deterioration of overall coordination, posture and walking.
Arthritis and related conditions, such as osteoarthritis, cost the US economy nearly 8 billion per year in medical care and indirect expenses, including lost wages and production.4
Despite the high prevalence of osteoarthritis, there is no cure for this disease, which tends to progressively reduce mobility and the overall health state in the affected patients.
About Voltaren Gel
Voltaren Gel provides 1% diclofenac sodium in a topical gel formulation. It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medication indicated for the pain of osteoarthritis in joints amenable to topical treatment, such as the knees and those of the hands. Voltaren Gel delivers highly effective pain relief with a favorable safety profile as its systemic absorption is 94% less than comparable oral diclofenac treatment.
Important safety information
The most common adverse reactions reported in Voltaren Gel clinical trials were application site reactions in 7% of treated patients. With all NSAIDs there may be an increased risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, myocardial infarction, and stroke, which can be fatal. NSAIDs cause an increased risk of serious gastrointestinal adverse events including bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach or intestines, which can be fatal.
The use of Voltaren Gel is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to diclofenac.
Voltaren Gel should not be administered to patients who have experienced asthma, urticaria or other allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs. Severe, rarely fatal, anaphylactic-like reactions to NSAIDs have been reported in such patients.
Voltaren Gel is contraindicated for the treatment of peri-operative pain in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
Voltaren Gel should not be used in combination with other oral NSAIDs or aspirin because of the potential for increased adverse effects. Similarly, combined use of Voltaren Gel with other topical products, such as sunscreens and cosmetics, on the same skin area has not been tested and should be avoided because of the potential to alter local tolerability and absorption.
Voltaren Gel joins other available Voltaren prescription medications in the US as well as the Novartis global portfolio of Voltaren Emulgel products. For full prescribing information, visit www.voltarengel.com or call 1-800-452-0051.

Is There Really An Effective Impotence Treatment?
Inability of a man to have or maintain an erection in order for sexual intercourse to take place is called erectile dysfunction. Impotence varies in severity; some men have a total inability to achieve an erection, others have an inconsistent ability to achieve an erection, and still others can sustain only brief erections.Impotence falls into two broad categories, impotence caused by a physical condition and that caused by a psychological condition.
Sometimes impotence due to a physical condition may be worsened by a psychological component. The treatment of impotence should always include treatment of the underlying cause as well.Experts have estimated that erectile dysfunction affects 30 million men in the Untied States.Impotence can nearly always be treated – 95 percent of men find a suitable treatment. The simplest are talking therapies, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, and medicines.
Impotence treatment
Normal Help
– If you smoke, make a plan to stop.
– Take moderate intensity exercise (so you feel warm and slightly out of breath – brisk walking for instance) for half an hour, most days of the week. Eat a balanced diet that is rich in fruit and vegetables and low in fat.
– Drink alcohol in moderation. If you use illegal drugs, bear in mind that these can also cause impotence.
– Aim to reduce stress in your life by looking at the balance between your work and home/leisure time. You may find relaxation techniques are helpful.

Natural Treatment
Genuine yohimbe bark (which does contain the alkaloid yohimbine) is purchased in bulk by the pharmaceutical industry that produces yohimbine tablets (primarily Plantecam in Cameroon). Pseudo yohimbe bark, which is much cheaper but contains almost no yohimbine alkaloid, is sold to the manufacturers of health supplements.Yohimbine appears to work better for erectile dysfunction not caused by a physical problem.
A study examined whether 30 mg/day of yohimbine for 4 weeks would help men with erectile dysfunction not due to a physical problem.Its up to you if you choose Medical or Natural treatment.
Medicine Help
There are now three different types of medicine known as phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) inhibitors. The most well-known of these is sildenafil (Viagra). There are two other similar medicines called tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra) that work in the same way. All three medicines cause the blood vessels in your penis to relax so more blood can flow into it, leading to an erection.

What is Xenical
Xenical is a prescription oral medication for weight loss. It focuses on preventing 30% of the fat that you consumed through food, from being digested. This means that the fat is prevented from being absorbed by the body, resulting in a reduction of the calories in your body. This helps the body lose weight and also helps prevent weight gain.

Medical tests confirm that Orlistat is successful, especially in cases, where the user has made specific changes to the user’s lifestyle with respect to diet an exercise. It was seen that users lost more kilograms than those who were not taking the drug.
Xenical-Strengths
Xenical is an obesity treatment drug for weight loss. Most other drugs available in the market affect the brain and help in the suppression of appetite. There are various side effects associated with such drugs including cardiovascular and nervous system side effects. One of the strengths of Xenical is that it does not affect the brain, but only takes affect in the digestive system of the user. There are people who have become addicted to the consumption of appetite suppressants but there is no danger of this happening with Xenical. Apart from offering weight loss benefits, Xenical also acts against body fat, triglycerides, high blood pressure and Type II diabetes.
Online availability of Xenical
Xenical is available online. There are online pharmacies that offer Xenical to users who have been approved a prescribed for this medication.

The great part about buying drugs online is that you can do so, sitting right in the comfort of your own home. Whether you are buying Xenical online or from a traditional pharmacy, one thing remains: you cannot take the treatment without a prescription.

Before you decide if you have the symptoms listen to this – keeping a diary can be a good way to have a picture of your heartburn symptoms. I say this because heartburn can be a complex problem and identifying the symptoms an important element. Of course it could be something as simple as too much salsa on a taco or perhaps something at bit stranger like roasted green bell peppers. Or maybe the same foods don’t always cause heartburn.
Are you looking for a new heartburn cure? Many seniors are beginning to recognize that they are going through a change in their daily diet. This is a growing segment of the population with 15 to 20 million in all searching for a cure that will alleviate their heartburn. If you know of someone who is complaining that their heartburn treatment isn’t doing the job then here is some advice that may help.
This holiday season people tend to eat more indiscriminately and after this time a great number of cardiac arrest high blood pressure victims heart attack and different kinds of attacks will be on the news. Here are some ways to prevent heartburn.
Morning sickness medication may vary from home remedies recommended by the family and friends to over-the-counter medication prescribed by your doctor or health care provider. While the symptoms may be alleviated by taking in the medication prescribed by family sometimes morning sickness is cured only with a dose of prescribed medicine. So sucking ginger lozenges may not always help.
All you know is that your stomach feels as though it is on fire and you need relief. However frequent heartburn and acid reflux can cause more serious problems. By all means if you have received treatment from your doctor for this problem continue to take the medication prescribed until you can discuss this with your doctor. Many people are under the impression that acid reflux medicine means they do not have to change their eating habits. They still eat whatever they want and how much they want never realizing that they are damaging their esophagus. The medicine becomes a cure-all for the poor eating habits they have acquired.
Make no mistake in thinking that yeast infection or cadidiasis is for women only because candida albicans a naturally occurring microbe or fungi has it’s primary and natural residence in your large intestine. Short-sighted actions on your part deplete the beneficial bacteria that keep yeast at bay upsetting the natural bacterial balance. Such an upset allows a yeast overgrowth which if it breaches the confines of your intestines health problems begin to occur.

Xenical orlistat: For weight loss treatment
Which weight loss program is best for me? If you haven’t decided about it as yet, then start reviewing various obesity treatment drugs available on the market. Due to medical advancement, you may find many types of drugs that make tall claims of treating obesity among people. However, very few drugs actually prove to be effective and Xenical orlistat is one of them.
More information about Xenical
Xenical is an oral prescription drug that is available in the UK on a prescription of a doctor. It is generally prescribed to very overweight (with BMI value 27 or more) or obese people (with BMI value 30 or more). Xenical can also be helpful for obese people with additional risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood lipid profile.
Xenical belongs to a group of drugs known as lipase inhibitors. These drugs target the dietary fats in the body. Xenical contains an active ingredient, orlistat that prevents about one-third of the fats taken through meals from getting absorbed in the body. In this way, Xenical helps to control the accumulation of excess fats in the body.
What are its dosages?
The available dosage strength of Xenical is 120 mg capsule. You should take it as per the instructions of your doctor or online pharmacist if you buy Xenical online. Generally, the most recommended Xenical dosage for adults is one capsule taken along with each of the three main meals during the day. However, make sure you don’t take more than the recommended dose; otherwise you may suffer from some unpleasant side effects of this drug.
It has been observed that due to Xenical treatment, our body loses out some important fat soluble vitamins A, D and K. So, to make up for their deficiency in the body, you must take any suitable multi-vitamin supplement after consultation with a doctor.
Taking Xenical capsule is easy, as you can swallow it whole with a glass of water. It’s advisable you shouldn’t open the capsule or take any that are torn or damaged. For best results of weight loss with Xenical, you should take its doses with a calorie-controlled diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables. It is suggested you distribute your daily intake of fat, carbohydrate, and protein over three main meals of the day. Also you can make out a physical exercise program after consulting your doctor and follow it regularly.
How it works?
Xenical works only in the presence of dietary fats in the body. If you skip a meal or your meal contains less fat, then there is no need to take Xenical dosage. The main ingredient in Xenical is orlistat that prevents the absorption of about one-third of fats taken through meals. The fats that remain undigested normally pass out of the body through natural bowels. In this way, Xenical can help minimize your changes of weight gain.
Side effects of Xenical
The most common side effects of Xenical are generally related to the digestive system because it works there only. Some of these side effects are increased flatulence or gas with or without discharge, abdominal pain, urgent need to have bowels, oily or fatty stools, and oily discharge from anus. These are generally mild symptoms and go away after few weeks of treatment, so shouldn’t worry about them.
Some patients may also report uncommon side effects of Xenical such as nausea, indigestion, headache, and unusual feelings of tiredness or weakness. If you feel any type of discomfort during weight loss treatment with Xenical, then you should consult a medical doctor who may suggest the necessary remedy.

Has anyone had luck with the prescription acne treatment accutane?
My son’s dermatologist is trying a prescription body wash for my son’s severe acne, and said if this doesn’t work, he will try accutane. I was reading up on the literature he gave us about it and some of the side effects are pretty bad. I’d like to hear from someone who’s used it, did it help the acne? What side effects did you have?

Lyme Treatment Tips
Lyme disease is an inflammatory disease spread through a tick bite. Lyme disease is an infection caused by bacteria spirochete. The disease is carried by deer ticks and western black-legged ticks (found mostly on the Pacific Coast). These ticks can spread the disease to animals and humans through tick bites. Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the United States. Lyme disease is caused by an infection from a micro-organism (Borrelia burghdor feri), itself transmitted by a bite from the wood tick, a blood-sucking parasite which normally lives on deer. The wood tick is found in many areas, particularly in forests where deer are common. A tick will settle anywhere on a human body, but prefers warm, moist and dark places like the crotch or armpits.
About 60% of light-skinned patients notice a unique enlarging rash, referred to as erythema migrans (EM), days to weeks after the biteLyme disease is usually seen during the late spring, summer, and early fall. Risk factors for Lyme disease include walking in high grasses, taking place in activities that increase tick exposure, and having a pet that may carry ticks home. Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness that causes signs and symptoms ranging from rash and flu-like fever and body aches to more serious ones including joint swelling, weakness, fatigue and temporary paralysis. Other symptoms of lyme disease include chills, headaches, stiff neck, fatigue, muscle aches and joint pain. Protective clothing includes long-sleeve shirts and pants that are tucked into socks or boots.
Anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen, are sometimes prescribed to relieve joint stiffness. Oral doxycycline (eg Vibramycin) (except in children), amoxicillin (eg Amoxil) or cephalosporin antibiotics are the usual first choices. Antibiotics by injection are being given, then benzylpenicillin (eg Crystapen), cefotaxime (Claforan) and ceftriaxone (Rocephin) are the usual choices. An arthrocentesis is a procedure whereby fluid is removed from a joint using a needle and syringe under sterile conditions. When walking or hiking in wooded or grassy areas, tuck long pants into socks to protect the legs, and wear shoes and light-colored, long-sleeved shirts. Ticks show up better on white or light colored-clothing than dark items. Spray your clothes with insect repellant.

Acid Reflux Treatment Through Medication
Your stomach contains several kinds of acids which help you break down and digest the foods you take-in. If those acids back up into your esophagus, you will feel a burning sensation called heartburn. While experiencing the above occasionally is a normal thing, having those symptoms repeatedly might be a sign of acid reflux disease (GERD).
At start, you might consider taking antacids which can be purchased without prescriptions. They work not only by neutralizing the acids present in your stomach but also by provoking your stomach to secrete more mucous and bicarbonate. These will basically contain magnesium, calcium and aluminum. Some common names of antacids are tetracycline, Cipro and Infernal. You should be aware that taking those on a long-term basis augments the possibility of stone-formation in your kidney.
Another type of medications is H2 blockers. As implied by their name, those drugs will prevent your stomach from secreting acids. You should be aware of the following facts. To work, H2 blockers need between 30 to 90 minutes. Once absorbed by your system, the effects will last for between 6 to 24 hours. Those people suffering from acid reflux and knowing the facts above are able to predict heartburns and eventually prevent them. Common brands of these medications are Famotidine, Cimetidine and Ranitidine.
People suffering from acid reflux after eating have confessed that a combination of antacids and H2 blockers work best. While combining the timings stated above with the fact that antacids work within a few minutes, you can create your own program.
Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) also work by preventing your stomach from producing acids. Research has showed considerable relief from PPIs in people suffering from acid reflux. Nexium, Prevacid and Aciphex are some brands of PPIs.
This article should in no way be substituted for medical advice. You should also read about adverse effects that might occur if you are already taking other medications. Always see your MD before taking any new drugs.
