Maglite Meds – Find Enlightenment Through Controlling Hypertension.
Wednesday, 2 January 2008
Over the holiday, I found some time to an add an entry! You do not see Dilacor XR (Extended Release) in New Zealand any more as I think the generics have moved in. Pity that, as the company that makes it always gave us nice trinkets, like this Made in the USA […]
Is It A Toy? Apologies To Any Nice Pharmacists Out There.
Wednesday, 2 January 2008
Well maybe it is judging by the way it is to be used. Asthma usually affects the lungs but the human physiology can be unusual and interesting.
In fact, Ventolin is used to stop premature labor in woman…. so who knows.

How cleverly by divers means
By graphical skills and careful schemes
Those who our medicine prepare.
Would thus the innocent ensnare,
The latest tablet we are told,
Will stop our organs growing old,
And, furthermore by slow release,
Will thus its healing powers increase.
How well advised are those who opt,
A cautious response to adopt.

Skinny Pens – Persuasion Factor ***
Sunday, 9 September 2007
This is an elegant pen and pencil set from Abbott Laboratories who make Reductil (sibutramine) which is in fact a failed antidepressant (well actually it worked!) but relaunched as an appetite suppressant at an outrageous price.
Amazingly, and commendably, Abbott dropped the price from abut $200 a month to $70 a month […]
It Is A Boys Story – Persuasion Factor ***** (Max)
Wednesday, 1 August 2007
This web page is taking on a distinctly male slant – but that’s ok. This gizmo is just fabulous! It is used to train doctors what normal and abnormal prostates feel like when, well, you know, you “get checked” down below.
When you insert your finger you actually feel a rubber model […]
Retractable, Bendable – And Turgid Too – Persuasion Factor ****
Saturday, 28 July 2007
The original medication to treat “erectile dysfunction” was of course Viagra – but after you have discovered a blockbuster the competition is sure to snap at your heels.
Cialis, or tadalafil “Tada !!”, is a phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor that works just like viagra though it has got a longer half life so […]
Coffee Coffee Coffee – Keeps The Doctor Going – Persuasion Rating **
Sunday, 22 July 2007
This nice coffee cup looses the heat too fast. Lamisil is an antifungal medication that is quite useful to clear out stubborn toenail infections.
A very interesting side effect of Lamisil (Terbinafine) is that it causes taste disturbance. In fact when I was put on it for my toe nails […]
Glaxo Prepares Us For A Rainy Day – Persuasion Factor ****
Thursday, 19 July 2007
It is winter time in New Zealand and although I live in the sunniest part of the country (wine country) this “brolly” as the Kiwi’s call it is very useful. I like the fake wood (actually plastic).
Glaxo’s drug Serevent is useful and I do prescribe it. It is basically […]
Paint My Toenails – Persuasion Factor *
Tuesday, 17 July 2007
Loceryl is a rather unsuccessful painted on medication that is applied to toe nails to get rid of toe fungus. It simply did not work very well and I can say the same for the “Swiss” army knife which is a cheap imitation of the real swiss ones. The knife […]
