The United States is a place of freedom. We are a mixing pot that unifies as one. Many religions, cultures, and languages make their home in the Unites States.

4.2 PREFORMULATION STUDIES PREFORMULATION STUDIES Preformulation testing is an investigation of physical and chemical properties of a drug substance alone and when combined with excipients. It is the first step in the rational development of dosage forms. Preformulation commences when a newly synthesized drug shows sufficient pharmacologic promise in animal models to warrant evaluation in man. These studies should focus on those physicochemical properties of the new compound that could affect drug

Drug companies like Perdue, Cephalon, and Insys are focused more on marketing than patient care. It is alarming that these companies would rather push sales however possible and risk consequences like being sued for hundreds of millions of dollars. Something that really stood out to me was when the ex Insys employee spoke about what she and the company did by saying “uh huh” to when they were asked if a patient had cancer in order to not only push the sales of their drug(s) but to get insurance companies

The use of ADHD medicine in our society has taken an alarming rise in the recent years. This rise appears to be continuing in the upcoming years.

Everyday, children all over the world are treated for various physical and mental illness with drugs that have not been tested to work on people of their age. No doctors or scientists can tell parents if these drugs will work or even if they are safe for their children but when it all comes down to the problem at hand, the parents have no other option but to trust these drugs.

The prescription drug industry is an oligopolistic market where a few firms dominate the industry and entry into the market by new firms is generally considered arduous. The orphan drug market had been even more difficult to enter, as the population of potential customers of any new drugs was very small, yet to develop the drugs still required significant R&D investment despite government subsidies. Genzyme found significant success by entering the orphan market, exploiting the lack of competition
In clinical trials, efficacy and safety are measured by means of certain predetermined endpoints, or outcomes. The main objective of a Phase 3 trial is to demonstrate the efficacy of a drug in the actual target population that is proven in a statistically and clinically significant manner. A Phase 3 trial has a clearly defined primary endpoint(s), pre-specified even before study initiation, because they will determine the power of the study and ensure that the research question is specific.
