Money drugs

Orga.nic Colora.nts. The importance of coal-tar colorants cannot be overemphasized. The cosmetic industry, in cooperation with the FDA, has spent a great deal of time and money in efforts to estabUsh the safety of these dyes (see Colorants for food, drugs, cosmetics, and medical devices). Contamination, especially by heavy metals, and other impurities arising from the synthesis of permitted dyes are stricdy controlled. Despite this effort, the number of usable organic dyes and of pigments derived from them has been drastically curtailed by regulatory action. 

True. Many addicted drug users spend large sums of money on their drugs of choice. For many such users this money is raised by theft, drug dealing or prostitution. 

True. Misuse of all three can become extremely expensive (see answer 23). It is difficult to consider use of street drugs or cigarettes as anything other than an expensive waste of money. However, sensible and moderate use of alcohol may give some value for money in the form of relaxation and pleasure. 

True. Using illegal drugs can seriously affect your health, can cost you a lot of money and may lead you to into serious trouble with the law. That doesn t seem like a thing that smart people would do. 

A systematic search of published literature identified 13 studies concerned with the value for money of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. The majority were cost analyses of the potential savings in providing health and social care which may accrue from the introduction of these drugs. However, the available clinical evidence is not sufficient to support the assumption that acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are equivalent to other interventions in terms of clinical effect or side effects (Birks and Melzer, 1999 NICE, 2001). Furthermore, research to assess potential cost savings implicitly assumes that... 

In the near future new drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer s disease are expected to be licensed, and it would be extremely valuable to be able to compare them in a clear and well-defined framework. In addition, if economic evaluation is to inform health and social care providers and policy-makers about the potential impact of new interventions in practice, estimation of the value for money of these new interventions requires consideration of (a) the perceived and objective risks and benefits of care (b) attitudes of people with... 

The file clearly demonstrated extensive knowledge of Phillip s background with the Department of Defense and his security clearance. While it was made obvious that the Chinese knew all about him, blackmail was the furthest thing from their mind. Their main concern was Alex Houston. The Chinese knew Houston had been involved with the CIA, drugs, money laundering, child prostitution and slavery. The comment from this Chinese bearer of bad tidings was, " Houston was a very bad man and his crimes were of the White House." (24)... 

Another mechanism designed to distribute the financial burden of pharmaceuticals is the deductible ( >), the sum of money that patients are required to pay out of their own pocket before the effective insurance coverage is activated. In other words, patients must in all cases pay the first D monetaiy units. Above that figure, the insurer begins to assume the financial burden of the drug. In addition, maximum or minimum amounts are sometimes fixed to limit the risk of one of the parties. 

A large drug manufacturer has decided to study this molecule and formulate it into a drug if it proves to be safe and effective. As an aside, the San Bushmen of the Kalahari desert are currently impoverished and oppressed. If P57 becomes a money-making drug in developed countries, it may mean a better life for people of this tribe, since they will receive royalties (money) when the drug is sold. This drug is very early in the research process and it will be several years before it could be available in the United States. 

Acceptance/rejection or valuation cases may cost (or save) a company a great deal of money depending on the error in the analysis and size of production runs. The prosecution of a company may give rise to a fine, or in the most severe cases, imprisonment of individuals. The arrest of an individual for possession of drugs (or explosives) could have very serious consequences the individual concerned may be convicted. If the identification of the substance was made in error, the convicted person will have suffered unnecessarily and there could subsequently be huge compensation claims. 

The patent system is an essential foundation of the biotechnology industry Through patent protection, those spending extraordinary amounts of money on research and development are able to recoup costs and earn appropriate returns for shareholders by benefiting from limited periods of exclusivity over their discoveries. The importance of this protection becomes obvious as one considers that the average research and development costs for a single new drug has traditionally been estimated at 500 million (Robbins-Roth,...
