As society becomes more affluent, there are demands for lifestyle drugs, to treat non-life-threatening conditions, or even to make a person feel more confident or look better. It is likely that there will be a proliferation of lifestyle drugs in the future. [Pg.371]

It is also expect that, in the coming decades, there will be more research on aging. Exhibit 11.10 describes some recent findings concerning aging. [Pg.293]

We have witnessed lifestyle drugs in the form of orlistat (Xenical, Roche) prescribed for obesity management (Exhibit 2.10), and growth hormones have been promoted for enhancement of muscle tone and youthful vitality [Pg.293]

Currently, bupropion (Zyban, GlaxoSmithKline) is the only approved drug for helping in ceasing cigarette smoking, and finasteride (Propecia, Merck) has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of male baldness. [Pg.294]

Drugs that affect the brain must act in complicated ways as well. These complications mean, at least in the author s opinion, that there will always be side effects that limit a drug s usefulness and effectiveness—including any present or future lifestyle drugs that supposedly alter personalities. Brain chemistry is a frontier of science in which... [Pg.98]

Panke et al. (2003) also demonstrated enhanced reaction control, with respect to the temperature-sensitive synthesis of 2-methyl-4-nitro-5-propyl-2H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid 219, a key intermediate in the synthesis of the lifestyle drug Sildenafil (220) (Scheme 64). When performing the nitration of 2-methyl-5-propyl-2H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid 219 under adiabatic conditions, with a dilution of 6.01kg 1), Dale et al. (2000) observed a temperature rise of 42 °C (from 50 to 92 °C) upon addition of the nitrating solution. As Scheme 63 illustrates, this proved problematic as at 100 °C decomposition of the product 219 was observed and in order to reduce thermal decomposition of pyrazole 219, and increase process safety, the authors investigated addition of the nitrating solution in three aliquots, which resulted in a reduced reaction temperature of 71 °C and an increase in chemoselectivity unfortunately, the reaction time was increased from 8 to 10 h. [Pg.178]

Merck, of course, would never call Vioxx an unnecessary or lifestyle drug. However, it apparently does have its stan-... [Pg.103]

Research shows that staying in residential or nonmethadone outpatient drug treatment is associated with reduced substance use and a more socially productive lifestyle. Drug treatment research would benefit from more studies of patient-treatment matching. [Pg.414]

The strong tendency towards phytotherapy and self-medication is further supported by health insurance companies which exclude medication for minor diseases from the list of reimbursed products. So-called lifestyle drugs cmd functional food are the industry s reaction towards such trends. Patients take care of their heedth in a more responsible manner and try to prevent severe and chronic diseases by changing their lifestyle and controlling their food intake. Dietary measures instead of medicine represent the new approach toward a healthier life. A profound distrust of genetically engineered food has paved the way to a back to nature trend with a preference for products with the bio label. [Pg.154]

Benefit —This indicates what medications are covered and under what circumstances. The benefit is defined by the degree to which the patient will contribute to products and services via a copay. The entity that provides the benefit quantitates and determines the benefit limits (e.g., if the benefit is provided to the patient by the employer, then the employer dictates the conditions of the benefit—for example, lifestyle drugs that offer cosmetic improvement may not be covered in favor of covering critical medications that treat disease). [Pg.744]

Before vv discuss OTC drugs and lifestyle drugs, we would like to provide a brief overview of self-medication to help gain an appreciation of the changing attitudes of consumers. A recent survey conducted by Roper Starch Worldwide Inc. on behalf of the Consumer Healthcare Products Association... [Pg.423]

Lifestyle drugs received much publicity (54-56) since the launch of the little blue pill, Viagra. The publicity is fueled partly by the hype cf the media and partly by the debates about vdx) is going to pay and what are their therapeutic benefits to the consumers (57-61). The scientific field is equally interested in this class of drugs, as reflected by a dedicated Scrip report (62), an article in the British Medical Journal (63), and a special series of articles in the International Journal of Clinical Pharmacology (64-68). [Pg.431]

Several factors, such as advances in technologies, growing consumerism, and demand of baby-boomer consumers to look and feel young, contribute to the popularity of lifestyle drugs. Consumers want not only the absence of disease but also improvement of quality of life. Longer lifespans also give rise to a variety cf cosmetic and performance conditions that demand remedies. [Pg.431]
