LA Times October 4 / 2006

The Department of Homeland Security, which operates the Customs and Border Protection agency, disclosed this week that it would halt confiscation of Canadian drugs Monday and instead conduct random sampling ...

The War On Prescription Drugs:
Dosanjh Asks Provinces To Be Vigilant With Internet Pharmacies
Friday, December 03, 2004
OTTAWA (CP) - On the heels of his well-publicized call for medical watchdogs to crack down on doctors working for Internet pharmacies, Health Minister Ujjal Dosanjh is asking his provincial counterparts to do their part. In a letter written late last month, Dosanjh told provincial health ministers he expects their regulatory authorities "to remain vigilant in enforcing their standards of professional conduct."...

Non Diabetics Should Watch Blood Sugar, Too
A study finds high levels are a heart risk even if people don't have the disease.By Steven Reinberg
Health Day Reporter
MONDAY, Sept. 20 (HealthDayNews) --
High blood sugar levels aren't a heart disease concern for diabetics only.

While it has been long known that diabetics have higher odds of heart disease and stroke when their blood sugar is not controlled, a new study suggests a high glucose mark is a risk factor in non diabetics as well. "Diabetes is well-recognized to be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease," said lead author Dr. Kay-Tee Khaw, a professor at the School of Clinical Medicine at the University of Cambridge in England.

However, even in people who do not have diabetes, levels of glycated hemoglobin, which is an indicator of long-term blood glucose level, predicted cardiovascular disease incidence and total mortality in 10,232 men and women aged 45 to 79 living in the general community in Britain, who were followed up over six years, she said.

The relationship of cardiovascular disease and mortality was continuous and increased with increasing blood glucose levels, even across the normal, non diabetic range, in a linear relationship, Khaw said.

According to the report, an increase of glycated hemoglobin of 1 percent was associated with about a 25 percent higher risk of death. "Fifteen percent of the deaths occur in the 4 percent of the population with diabetes or glycated hemoglobin levels of 7 percent or more, but 72 percent occurred in those with glycated hemoglobin levels above the optimal level of less than 5 percent," she said. The increased risk was independent of classical cardiovascular disease risk factors including age, blood pressure, blood lipids, cigarette smoking and body mass index, Khaw said. The report appears in the Sept. 21 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.

"Even in persons without diabetes, higher levels of glycated hemoglobin may indicate persons at higher risk of cardiovascular disease," Khaw said. "This may be helpful in identifying those who may benefit most from preventive interventions, such as cholesterol-lowering or blood pressure- lowering medication." Khaw said there is no evidence from intervention studies that lowering blood glucose levels in people who do not have diabetes may reduce heart disease.

"However, we already know from trials that behavioral interventions, such as physical activity and reduction of obesity, can reduce blood glucose levels and prevent diabetes in high-risk individuals. This may strengthen existing advice for lifestyle modification to prevent cardiovascular disease in the general population," she said.

In another report in the same journal, Elizabeth Selvin, a graduate student in the Department of Epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and her colleagues add to the evidence of the connection between high blood sugar and heart disease among diabetics.

Selvin's team reviewed 13 previously published studies on the relationship between glycosylated hemoglobin and heart disease risk.

They found that people with type 2 diabetes had an 18 percent increased risk for cardiovascular disease for each 1 percent increase in glycosylated hemoglobin level. In addition, people with type 1 diabetes had a 15 percent increase risk for cardiovascular disease risk for each 1 percent increase in glycosylated hemoglobin level.

"In persons with diabetes, it is clear that known risk factors for cardiovascular disease such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and smoking should be treated aggressively," Selvin said. "But our study suggests that patients and physicians should also be paying attention to blood sugar levels to prevent heart disease in persons with diabetes. Our results suggest that lowering glucose levels in persons with diabetes may further reduce their risk of heart disease."

"It is clear from the two articles that an abnormal glucose level is now well-established as a risk factor for future heart attacks and strokes and deaths from cardiovascular disease," said Hertzel Gerstein, a professor of medicine at McMaster University in Canada.

Gerstein, the author of an accompanying editorial, said glucose levels should be considered in the same way as cholesterol levels or blood pressure. "It's a marker for cardiovascular risk in everybody, not just in people with diabetes," he added.

To combat high glucose, Gerstein recommends moderate physical activity and eating less. "We know that if everybody were able to make these minor changes, they would reduce their risk of diabetes and rises in glucose levels," he said.

Prescription Drugs Affect Unborn Babies
As reported in USA Today.
(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Women who use a serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) to treat depression or other psychiatric problems during pregnancy may be putting their infants at risk for neurobehavioral problems, report investigators publishing in this month's Pediatrics.

The lifetime risk for depression in women ranges from 10 percent to 25 percent, with the peak prevalence occurring during the childbearing years. Some reports suggest as many as 14 percent of pregnant women suffer from depression and up to 35 percent of women use antidepressants during pregnancy. Studies involving infants exposed to SSRIs in the womb have shown few ill effects, so most doctors believe these drugs can be safely prescribed for pregnant women. However, most of these studies have only compared major outcomes, such as physical growth and complications evident on the medical record.

Researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill studied 17 full-term newborns whose mothers had taken an SSRI during pregnancy and 17 similar infants whose mothers had not taken one of the drugs, assessing them for more subtle neurobehavioral differences. They found infants exposed to SSRIs in the womb were more likely to have had a shorter gestational age, and were also more likely to suffer from a range of neurobehavioral problems, including nervousness, startles, and sleep disturbances. After adjusting the findings for gestational age, differences in nervousness and sleep disturbances remained significant.

Researchers conclude, "Results of the present study call into question the conclusion that SSRI use during pregnancy has little impact on the developing fetus and infant outcome."

Internet pharmacies applaud U.S. report Last Updated Fri, 18 Jun 2004 19:15:04 WINNIPEG -CBC INDEPTH: Cross-border Rx

Canada's internet pharmacies are welcoming a new American report that they say vindicates their industry. A report by the American General Accounting Office – the equivalent of Canada's auditor general – found prescription drugs from Canadian websites pose fewer risks than medications purchased from online pharmacies in other countries. In fact, some Canadian internet pharmacies had stricter standards even than those in the United States, said David MacKay, director of the Canadian International Pharmacy Association. MacKay expects the report to soften Washington's stance. "It should block some of the criticisms coming from the [U.S. Food and Drug Administration]. It will allow certain senators who might have been on the bubble to vote for a piece of legislation that will legalize importation." The safety of drugs ordered online from Canada has been a major issue as the American Senate holds hearings to decide whether to legalize importation.

Washingtonians find Canada the prescription for savings.
By Ross McLaughlin
KIRO 7 EYEWITNESS NEWS

SEATTLE -- Americans spend $120 billion a year on prescription medications, more per person than consumers anywhere else in the world. And the cost keeps going up. KIRO-7 Eyewitness News Consumer Investigator Ross McLaughlin discovered what some Washington state residents are doing about it.

For Frank and Betty Montgomery, pills are a part of their daily diet. They take medications for diabetes, blood pressure and cancer. Last year, the couple spent nearly $6,000 on prescriptions. That's more than 30 percent of their income.

"It doesn't come cheap," said Frank Montgomery. "We're living on Social Security, that's all." The Montgomerys have had to take out a second mortgage on their house to stay out of the red. And prescription drug prices keep going up.

"Every time we get them, they go up four dollars more, eight dollars more for a prescription," said Montgomery.

KIRO-7 went searching for a better price. We found a place where consumers can save hundreds of dollars.

Take Frank Montgomery's diabetes medication, Glynase, for example. He's been paying $105 a month. We found it for a fraction of the price -- about $14, or a difference of more than $90. Or how about Betty Montgomery's Tamoxifen to help fight breast cancer? It costs her more than $91, but we found it at just $11 -- an $80 difference.

Where did KIRO-7 find these cheap prices? In Canada.

We persuaded Frank Montgomery to drive from his Bothell home to a walk-in clinic in Surrey, just across the Canadian border. The visit
cost just $28, and the Canadian doctor reviewed and phoned in Montgomery's prescriptions. By the time Montgomery arrived at the drug store, the prescriptions were ready. When he heard the total, $121 U.S., he was speechless. His savings? About $547, or 80 percent. How can this be? The Canadian government limits the cost of prescription drugs. Drug companies are not allowed to advertise, and no markup on drugs is allowed at pharmacies.They make their money by charging a small dispensing fee.

Also, there is a huge generic drug industry in Canada. There are even generics for drugs like Prozac, which have no generics in the United States. And some drugs, like Claritin, that require prescriptions in the United States are sold over the counter at a much lower cost in Canada.

As word gets around, more and more Washington residents are making the trip north and cashing in on the savings.

"Boy, now I can afford to buy meat," said Montgomery. "I'm going to come up here every time my prescriptions need filling."

There have been no problems in crossing the border, said KIRO-7 reporter McLaughlin. Just make sure you have documentation proving the medications are for personal use.

A Borderline Case

Excerpt: Report on Business
Friday, April 26, 2002

It's no secret that Americans pay some of the highest medication prices in the world.
And right next door in Canada, the cost of drugs is partially controlled, a result of governments negotiating directly with manufacturers for provincial drug plans. Add in the exchange rate, and Canadian sourcing looks pretty attractive to American seniors, of whom as many as 40% in some states don't have insurance coverage for their prescriptions. "The interest is huge," says Peter Wyckoff, of the 25,000-member Minnesota Senior Federation, based in St. Paul.

For years, the federation organized bus trips to Winnipeg so its members could get three-month prescriptions filled for chronic conditions such as heart disease, cancer and arthritis. Now the wired world saves them the trip. The federation locates Canadian suppliers, compares prices and even travels to check out different "exporters," as Wyckoff calls them. Wyckoff says going on-line saves his members up to 50% on their prescriptions. For example, $183 (U.S.) buys 90 pills of the popular cholesterol-fighting drug Lipitor from Canada, while it's $269 if customers buy it at home.

Here's how it works: U.S. customers peruse the on-line price list and fax a valid U.S. prescription to the on-line pharmacy. A Canadian physician reviews and co-signs each U.S. prescription. If necessary, the Canadian doctor may phone the American counterpart who wrote the prescription and ask questions. For this service, Canadian doctors are paid what Strempler calls a "modest fee," built into the pharmacy's prices.
