I wonder if AI prescribes it :thinkerguns:

(since Amazon also uses chatbots to provide medical care)

In a push to get #manufacturers of generic #medications to produce in the #USA, #trump plans 100% #tariffs on imported generic drugs in 2028 (increasing to 200% in 2029) 💊
~~
#MyThoughts –
The plan is to promote onshoring of generic meds, but it's a weak threat & a bit of a bluff because:

1) Manufacturers will be given exceptions if they make individual deals w/ trump

2) 100% tariffs on generic meds in an election year? Good luck w/ Republicans winning *that* election.

Will #AI fix prior #authorization —or make it worse?

If you’re like me, you or a loved one has struggled through the process of gaining pre-approval for the #medical care that your #physician has recommended. Personal stories abound regarding the tribulations of #patients as they go through hoops to get their #health #insurer to pay for certain #prescription #medications , medical procedures, and more.

I'm unable to donate blood as when one of my #medications is given in huge doses to pregnant rats it can cause birth defects.
Personally I'd rather my blood was given to humans, not rats.

Niloofar* emptied her #emergency backpack onto the floor: a #passport, prescribed #medications, a toothbrush, a change of #clothes, and documents proving #ownership of her home.

#Editors, how should you handle #trade & #generic names for #medications? @laurapoole.bsky.social explains in a Quad blog post: https://quadlings.com/copyediting-drug-names/. The Quad is a #MastermindGroup that she, 5 others, & I have been in since 2015. https://quadlings.com

If you’re getting #older or have a family member who is, read the article and then show it to your physician and ask questions about the #medications that you or your family member take. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/well/mind/medications-dementia-risk-increase.html?unlocked_article_code=1.ilA.MPG0.jjRI57nMyH1J&smid=nytcore-ios-share (gift link)

[It can be very dangerous to come off #psychiatric #medications. It must be done slowly & while under physician supervision. In addition to the likelihood of symptoms returning, coming off an #SSRI can cause severe physical #withdrawal, some of which may never dissipate making it impossible for the patient to ever totally stop the medication. #SerotoninWithdrawalSyndrome can be debilitating; symptoms include severe dizziness, nausea, loss of balance, & frequent vomiting.]

#MentalHealth #health

…Experts in #pharmaceutical #regulation said the #FDA doesn't have the authority to unilaterally impose a #ban on #medications that have already received #US approval & have long been available without new evidence of a safety problem or finding that the original application seeking ⁠approval contained ​false statements. The FDA can ask a drugmaker to withdraw a #medicine, but the company can refuse.

…About 1 in 6 #US adults reported currently taking #SSRI #medications, which are widely available in generic form, acc/to a 2026 study in the medical journal BMJ #MentalHealth. The American ​Psychiatric Association considers #SSRIs a first option, evidence-based treatment for #depression.

The #FDA has authority over their use, & ​any new restrictions would require strong scientific evidence of a risk to patients that outweighs their benefits. Reviewing new evidence could take months or years….

The majority of abortions in the #US are obtained through #medications, usually a combination of #mifepristone & a second drug, #misoprostol. Their availability has blunted the impact of #abortion bans that most #Republican-led states have started enforcing since a 2022 #SCOTUS ruling that overturned #RoeVWade & allowed for state bans.

@ireneista @JessTheUnstill Alright! Hopefully last ping (unless further questions idk)

So! I was ignoring the phrase 'blister packs' because I was thinking of the sheets you get in any medication box.
No, apparently.
(Canadian, at least) pharmacies refer to "personalised pill packs" as blister packs.
*That's* what I was missing.

For some insane reason, #Utah decided to implement a “medical #AI” system.

Among other things, it can “diagnose” your illness, and send a report to a physician that includes recommended #prescription #medications. Slight hiccup, though; you can trick it to recommend whatever dose of whatever meds you want!

There are other glaring problems with Dr. Autocomplete, revealed in a detailed report here:
