Does anybody know when the 2010 top 200 drugs list will be out??? I'm trying to study for the PTCB and getting very confused over the top 200 drugs that I find on the internet and in my book, because the lists are SO DIFFERENT!!! ## I have to tell you, I searched google as well as other databases and haven't come across a list for 2010 either. There only seems to be the previous 2009 and under list available to the public. I find it interesting though how the 2008 and 2009 list were both published around May the following year on the various sites I have checked. Maybe the 2010 list is due around this time frame as well? I suppose we can only wait and find out as it is bound to come out sooner or later. I will be sure to post back if I come across anything in the meantime.

I have been looking for drixoral for ages now. I have been alive through canadian pharmacies. any has any idea when will we have drixoral back in stock it is january 2010. Else I will go back to TruMed Canada ## Drixoral will not be back in stock, it has been discontinued by the manufacturer, due to lack of sales. The places that still sell it are simply selling out their pre-existing stock. There have been quite a few posts about this, such as this one: ## (I'm posting in several places) Well, it's now March 2010, and I just got off the phone with Schering-Plough/Merck again. The lady I spoke with said that as of Feb. 15, they have no firm date for the return of Drixoral. She assured me that they were going to start making it again in the same formulation. She said their new ma...

Ban Drugs In PUNJAB India IN 2010 And 2011 BY HEALTH MINISTRY ## I'm sorry, but we are based in the U.S. and finding information for many other countries is quite difficult. Even the little I am finding doesn't list the update drugs for 2010 or 2011.

Top 200 drugs brand and generic for 2010 ## I cannot give you the list for 2010, because such information is not compile until the year is over. There is no way of knowing what the top sellers will be in any given year, until the year has ended and they can add up the data. 2009 and other years, however, are readily available. Is this for a school assignment? ## ims details ## yes ## ready ## What is the Generic name for Avodart?

Oxycodone HCL 5mg tablet expires 9/25/2010...Is this dangerous to take if expired? ## Certain drugs are actually okay to take after expiration, whereas others such as antibiotics can become toxic. My personal assumption is that it lost a good percentage of its potency by now, having been 2 years past the expiration date. It may still be effective, but not nearly as potent. It's also impossible to give a direct answer to this question, since each medication can effect people differently. We all know that it's better to avoid the expired drugs and stay on the safe side, but unfortunately, the only way to find out is to actually try it. I wouldn't suggest taking that risk, but if you have no other option then it's probably worth a shot. There's a good little article lin...

My stepfather died of HITT in 2010. I recently read about the huge recall in 2008. Is it possible that there is/was still contaminated lots out there? And who would I take this to other than the FDA? from what Ive read theyre not doing a very good job on their findings. ## No, it is highly unlikely that there were still contaminated lots on the market 2 years later, even if there were, you'd have to have some way to prove it. And there really is no one else to take it to, unless you are planning on filing a legal claim, which isn't likely since you aren't a direct relative. I am, however, very sorry for your family's loss. Are there any other questions or comments?

Last week the P/A increased my dosage of Zenpep from 5,000 units a meal to 50,000 units a meal. It has not helped. I will call her tomorrow with the sad results. Does anyone taken a higher dose and, if so, did it solve the problem? ## Hi Joanne, How are you? I haven't taken Zenpep myself, but based on my research Zenpep is available in six different dosage strengths, and each one is dependent upon on what amount your healthcare provider suggests you use (since everyone's case may be different). You can also get a lot of the enzymes found in Zenpep by simply eating a diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs. So if you feel like it's not working as well as you think it should, then I would probably think it'd be wise to analyze your diet and see where you can make ...

I used to take atarax 25mg for depression in 2010. It got better so I stopped taking them. It's now 2017 and my doctor put me back on them. I got a new prescription for the same milligrams but I found my other atarax in the kitchen cabinet. I'm wondering if it's still any good before I throw them away? ## Most likely not, medications tend to lose efficacy with time, according to FDA warnings. Even stored in the original factory sealed containers, they are usually only good for about 4 to 5 years, less when they are in a bottle as dispensed by your pharmacy, since that exposes them to the elements that cause degradation, such as heat, light, and moisture. Thus, it would be better to dispose of them, and pick up the new prescription. Is there anything else I can help with?
