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. -

I moved... so now I have to update my address everywhere.
I updated it in CVS Caremark, except that I got a text today telling me that they are preparing to ship a medication to my old address.
:headache:
I had *already* changed my address. Why are they using the old one??
:why:
I told the CSR that I want all future shipments to go to my new address because, and I quote that I said in the chat:
"Playing whack-a-mole with medication shipments is not something I want to do."

[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.]

…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.

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)
1. https://www.thevillagepharmacy.ca/organize-your-medications
2. https://medicineshoppeelbow.ca/medication-management/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.

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:
