    Drug Information Center Highlights of FDA Activities – 9/1/20 – 9/30/20 FDA Drug Safety Communications & Drug Information Updates: Efficacy & Safety Concerns for Atezolizumab in Combination with Paclitaxel 9/8/20 The FDA alerted health care professionals and patients that a clinical trial evaluating atezolizumab plus paclitaxel in patients with previously untreated inoperable locally advanced or metastatic triple negative breast cancer that the drug combination was not effective. The combination of atezolizumab with another paclitaxel formulation, paclitaxel protein‐bound, is currently approved for use in adult patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer, but this continued approval may be contingent on the results of additional studies. Paclitaxel should NOT be used as a replacement for paclitaxel protein bound in clinical practice. Electronic Expanded Access Requests 9/23/20 The FDA announced that the Reagan‐Udall Foundation has launched Expanded Access eRequest, a tool to submit expanded access requests for individual patient expanded access for drugs and biologics in non‐emergency settings.

  • Mcneil Consumer : Mdl No
    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA IN RE: MCNEIL CONSUMER : MDL NO. 2190 HEALTHCARE, ET AL., MARKETING : AND SALES PRACTICES LITIGATION : : Applies to: : ALL ACTIONS : MEMORANDUM McLaughlin, J. July 13, 2012 This multidistrict litigation arises out of quality control problems at the defendants’ facility manufacturing over- the-counter healthcare products in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, which led to a series of recalls of those products. The named plaintiffs assert claims for economic loss on behalf of a putative nationwide class against Johnson & Johnson (“J&J”), McNeil Consumer Healthcare (“McNeil”), and four of their executives. The plaintiffs allege that they overpaid for the defendants’ products as a result of the recalls and the defendants’ scheme to conceal or downplay the scope of the quality control problems. The defendants, who have offered a coupon or cash refund to consumers who purchased recalled drugs, have moved to dismiss the operative complaint, and assert that the named plaintiffs lack constitutional standing and have not met the applicable pleading standard. The Court will grant the defendants’ motion because the plaintiffs have not pled facts that show a cognizable injury in fact, which is required to confer Article III standing. I. Procedural Background This litigation resulted from the consolidation of ten individual actions filed around the country. Haviland v. McNeil Consumer Healthcare, No. 10-2195, was filed in this Court on May 12, 2010, asserting economic injuries arising out of the April 30, 2010 recall of over-the-counter children’s drugs by McNeil, a part of the J&J “Family of Companies.” Eight additional cases, also arising out of the April 2010 recall, were filed in district courts around the country.1 All cases asserted claims for economic injury only, with the exception of Rivera v.

Each participant was exposed to two chronic drug maintenance phases (21 mg/day nicotine transdermal patch and placebo transdermal patch). Within each drug phase, the participant received intravenous injections of placebo, cocaine (15 and 30 mg/70 kg), caffeine (200 and 400 mg/70 kg), and nicotine (1.0 and 2.0 mg/70 kg) in mixed order across days. Subjective and cardiovascular data were collected before and repeatedly after drug or placebo injection. Reinforcing effects were also assessed after each injection with a Drug vs Money Multiple-Choice Form. Intravenous cocaine produced robust dose-related increases in subjective and reinforcing effects; these effects were not altered by nicotine maintenance. Intravenous caffeine produced elevations on several subjective ratings; nicotine maintenance did not affect these ratings. Under the placebo maintenance condition, intravenous nicotine produced robust dose-related subjective effects, with maximal increases similar to the high dose of cocaine; nicotine maintenance significantly decreased the subjective and reinforcing effects of intravenous nicotine.

  • OTC DOSING GUIDE Benadryl
    OTC DOSING GUIDE Benadryl Our Dosing Guide gives dosages for common over-the-counter medications used in children. These medications are dosed according to weight. To calculate your child’s dose, look up his or her weight in the Dosing Guide and read across to the proper dose for each medicine listed. If you do not know your child’s weight and if your child is too young to stand on bathroom scales, a simple way to determine his or her weight is to first weigh both you and your child as you hold him. Then weigh yourself alone. Subtracting these two numbers will give you a fairly accurate weight for your child. The doses listed in the Dosing Chart are standard doses which are safe for your child. In some situations we recommend doses of these medications which may be slightly higher or lower than the doses recommended on the packaging of the medication. This should not concern you. If our advice calls for doses which are dramatically different, please ask us the reason for this. Abbreviations: mg=milligram tsp=teaspoon ml=milliliter cc=cubic centimeter dppr=dropperful 1 cc=1 ml 1 tsp=5 cc If your child takes an overdose of any medication, call Poison Control right away. The phone number is 1-800-376-4766 or 686-6161. CHILDREN’S BENADRYL ALLERGY LIQUID (Generic Name: Diphenhydramine) (Antihistamine) NEVER GIVE TO INFANTS LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OLD.
