Patients on galantamine and rivastigmine were more likely to stop treatment due to adverse events when compared to patients on donepezil cheap 0.18 mg levonorgestrel mastercard. The warning stated that “The deaths were due to various causes which could be expected in an elderly population buy 0.18 mg levonorgestrel mastercard. Gorman, Attainment of treatment goals by people with Alzheimer’s disease receiving galantamine: a randomized control trial. In fact, a recent fnding that clinicians arrive at different impressions of improvement and decline than do their patients, or the patients’ primary carer, suggests this may be contested (Rockwood et al 2006) 92 e. Schmidt, Inger Holmström, The role of drug and therapeutics committees: perception of charirs and information offcers. Initiated in 1977 by the National Institute of Health,93 they are funded by the pharmaceutical companies who sponsor the clinical trials conducted by those same experts. These experts are a familiar group, knowing one another through collaborations, conferences, and as experts at advisory meetings. In the literature, these guidelines become taken for granted and referenced as fact. Often they favour fnal recommendations for standard of care using the drugs they themselves were responsible for studying. The members of these committees do not take their task lightly, but they also come to the meetings with often already decided opinions, and there is seldom an attempt to bring dissenters to the table. Formulary committees have the important task of determining whether to include new drugs, and retain old ones. They sort through often methodologically compromised or incomplete data, decide on the appropriateness of outcomes, determine whether risks and harms have been addressed, and consider potential ethical dilemmas that move the discussion to issues of social justice, utility and community responsibility. Drug companies contract some 60 percent of medical researchers,96 and the pharmaceutical industry spends more on medical research than the National Institutes of Health in the United States. MacLeod, The role of research evidence in pharmaceutical policy making: evidence when necessary but not necessarily evidence. Caulfeld, Globalization, conficts of interest and clinical research: an overview of trends and issues. Clark, Pharmaceutical industry sponsorship and research outcome and quality: systematic review. Dieppe, Relation between agendas of the research community and the research consumer. They have a primary responsibility for their patient’s care and treatment, trusted to “frst do no harm”. Clinical trial research is an experiment that may well pose some threat of risk, harm or benefts. To what extent do regulations that ensure the protection of the fduciary relationship between patient and physician have to be made into laws? The close ties between clinical trial researchers and industry is seen in the remarkable cross-referencing of authors of the studies and membership representation of the expert advisory committees. In 1996, more than three quarters of the expert scientifc advisors to British drug regulatory authorities had personal fnancial interests. The move by some clinicians to an interest in their patients’ life stories and experiences in order to better recognize and target symptoms of decline and improvement seems to counter the technological trend to biomedical platforms, where “physicians no longer rely on narratives of symptoms offered by patients during a medical encounter but turn instead to an expanding collection of diagnostic signs”. But it turns out that the goal of this counter-technology clinical movement is, in fact, simply to award their own impressions with statistical signifcance. The industry enrolls clinician-researchers into clinical trials -multi-sited trials include many physician practices with the aim of recruiting many prescribing physicians; clinicians enroll industry to sponsor their research by conducting these trials; clinicians also enroll patients, and post-marketing, extensive direct-to-physician promotion is followed by direct-to-consumer such a vitriolic attack from the sponsored clinical trial community and national Alzheimer Societies as to be worthy of a special session for refection and wound licking at the 006 Madrid 10th International Conference on Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders. For those interested in such responses, Fujimura (1998) has an excellent analysis of scapegoating activities in the science wars. Potentially valuable data that might provide a far greater profle of individual treatment response and effectiveness remains locked away company vaults as proprietary material. Given the stated and assumed purposes for these trials, by which subjects sign informed consent statements, it might be argued that there is a responsibility to analyse these data. They accept the power of the statistically signifcant results from the industry trials, and while some propose alternative methods to identify symptoms that interpret meaningfulness, there is yet no translation into effectiveness. Conclusion Keating and Cambrosio tell us that the work of standardization (statistics) and clinical interpretation bring the laboratory and the clinic together, and that “technologies of consensus” mediate regulatory layers. Rather, independent scientifc health technology assessments continue to question the judgement and authority of clinical consensus groups whose decisions, nonetheless, get adopted as guidelines for practitioners. Instead, they worked towards changing the measuring stick so that maintenance could be recognized as improvement and more 105 B. To date, the United States and New Zealand are the only countries that permit direct to consumer advertising, although signifcant pressure is being put on other countries to follow suite (Mintzes et al). Less attention, however, has been given to direct-to-physician marketing by drug companies. Some evidence is submitted as “commercial in confdence” to the institutes by the manufacturers and while it is made available to the appraisal committee, it is removed from publicly disseminated versions of the assessment report. Wilkinson, Pharmacotherapy of Alzheimer‘s disease: is there a need to redefne treatment success? The norms set by the clinical research consensus committee were neither accepted nor adopted by critical health technology appraisers.

Advice to patient • Avoid crowds as well as persons who may have a contagious disease purchase 0.18 mg levonorgestrel with mastercard. Editorial comments • This drug should be administered by a physician who is experi- enced in the use of cancer therapeutic drugs buy 0.18 mg levonorgestrel otc. It should be noted that the most effective dose or dose regimen have not been determined. Sit at the edge of the bed for several minutes before standing, and lie down if feeling faint or dizzy. Mechanism of action: Inhibits sodium resorption in distal tubule, resulting in increased urinary excretion of sodium, potasssium, and water. Increase to 5 mg/d if response is not satisfactory after 4 weeks or consider giving another antihypertensive drug. Contraindications: Anuria, hypersensitivity to thiazides or sulfon- amide-derived drugs. Mechanism of action: Inhibits cyclooxygenase, resulting in inhi- bition of synthesis of prostaglandins and other inflammatory mediators. Mechanism of action: Antidiabetic action: Insulin facilitates trans- port of glucose across cell membranes of fat and muscle, resulting in a reduction of blood glucose levels. Hyperkalemia: Insulin causes a shift of potassium from serum into cells, thereby lower- ing serum potassium levels. Increase dose by 2–10 units daily or weekly until satisfactory glucose level is established. Adjustment of dosage • Kidney disease: Creatinine clearance 10–50 mL/min: 75% of normal dose; creatinine clearance <10 mL/min: 25–50% of normal dose. It should be noted that during pregnancy insulin requirements may increase drastically, but then decline imme- diately postpartum. Contraindications: Hypoglycemia, hypersensitivity to specific type of insulin given. Hypo- glycemia may result from decreased food intake, vomiting, excessive exercise, excessive alcohol consumption. If the patient experiences three hypoglycemic reactions in less than 6 months, insulin dosage should be reduced. Patient should be advised how to reverse mild hypo- glycemia: drink fruit juice (orange), eat sugar or candy. Adverse reactions • Common: palpitations, fatigue, subcutaneous lipid, atrophy or hypertrophy, blurred vision. Clinically important drug interactions • Drugs that decrease effects/toxicity of insulin: oral contracep- tives, corticosteroids, dextrothyroxine, diltiazem, epinephrine, smoking, thiazide diuretics, thyroid hormone. Glucose levels of 80–120 mg/dL are considered to be the target for good/optimum con- trol. Monitor blood glucose frequently at times of stress because under such conditions there is an increased need for insulin. A HbA1C value of 6–8% indicates good glucose control whereas values of 11–13% indicate poor glucose control. Order a retinal examination by an ophthalmolo- gist at least once a year in all patients with a 5-year history of insulin-dependent diabetes. Editorial comments • Human insulin may have an advantage to patients who are allergic to porcine or beef forms of the drug. Those patients with insulin-dependent diabetes who are receiving intensive therapy must test their blood glucose as often as 4–8 times a day to provide information necessary for maintaining the proper insulin dosage. Mechanism of action: Interferon inhibits replication of viruses or tumor cells, enhances macrophage phagocytic activity, and activates natural killer cells. Contraindications: Hypersensitivity to interferon or to mouse immunoglobulin, decompensated liver disease, recipients of trans- plants receiving immunosuppressant drugs, sensitivity to benyzl alcohol. Advice to patient • Do not change brands of interferon without consulting treating physician. Adverse reactions • Common: confusion, dizziness, decreased mental status, dry mouth, inflammation of pharynx, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, weight loss, cough, dyspnea, rash, flu-like syndrome. Editorial comments • Interferon should be administered only by a physician qualified and experienced in its use. Use latex gloves and safety glasses when han- dling this medication; avoid contact with skin and inhalation. Adjustment of dosage • Kidney disease: Creatinine clearance <30 mL/min: decrease dosage by 50%. Food: Ideally, should be taken on an empty stomach; may administer with food if gastric irritation occurs. There may be a severe reaction if isoniazid is taken along with foods that con- tain large amounts of tyramine (eg, aged cheese, Chianti wine, pickled herring). Warnings/precautions • Use with caution in patients with the following conditions: chronic liver disease, seizures, severe renal disease, chronic alcoholism, malnutrition, predisposition to neuropathy, con- current use of phenytoin. Clinically important drug interactions • Drugs that increase effects/toxicity of isoniazid: alcohol, rifampin, para-aminosalicylic acid, atropine. Parameters to monitor • Symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, particularly in patients who are diabetic, malnourished, or alcoholics.
