Zocor/Lipitor

admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 10:52:36 +0000

Are there any specific differences in Zocor and Lipitor? (beside the
price). I know they are both statins, but is there a basic difference, like
one is a sodium salt and one a potassium salt or something like that? My
co-worker ambushed me this morning and I just can’t remember. She said the
RPh at Walgreens was no help. Poor guy, I can’t believe he could remember
his name, let alone anything technical . Thanks!

Hey Aimee, know any jingles about this one?!?!? :)

diagnotic kits and the law

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 05:14:29 +0000

Hi,

Does anyone know within Canada, and USA the
following:

If company A imports a diagnotic kit to resell in Canada or USA to the
government labs and hospital core labs — are there certain laws with
respect to the following example.

Lets say the kit uses to a stool sample, or blood sample from a hospital
patient and determines a diagnosis of a type of bacterial or viral
infection. Many labs do diagnostic work and thus may use these kits. Do
they need special FDA or Health Canada approval before a company can sell
them.

I understand that for example a HIV diagnostic kits cannot be sold to the
public at the pharmacies unless clinical trials are carried out and approval
is given by the government… however to sell these kind of kits to be used
as a diagnotic aid or tool in hospitals and government labs may not require
approval.

Please help.
