12/01/09--12:00: The Garrett Report - Dec 01,2009 (chan 3042344)

We are a nation bursting at the seams of corruption, anxiety, lying, cheating, and political hyperbole. I consider the problems to be the result of a nation with an over abundance of material greed, and drug abuse. From prescriptions to street corner pharmacists we are consuming drugs for every imagined malady television ads say we have today. I think the erratic behavior we see on a daily basis now are the side effects of drug abuse. My next show will be better than the last one - I am sober! The need for Health Care Reform should include a need for prescription drug reduction. We need cures for our ailments, not drugs to help us tolerate them. Peace - FrankG

09/08/10--09:00: Abuse Resistant Formulations - Sep 08,2010 (chan 3042344)

Listen to a session from the inThought Expert Discussion Series archive originally held on 26/09/2009. The full recording is available from the inThought team at www.in-thought.com Join John J. Coleman, Ph. D. President of the Prescription Drug Research Center at the George Mason University Enterprise Center. A former Assistant Administrator for Operations at the US Drug Enforcement Administration, he has held global responsibility for the law enforcement and regulatory functions of the agency, including those pertaining to commerce in regulated pharmaceutical products. While attempts to manipulate pharmacology to decrease opioid/stimulant abuse have been ongoing for several decades, an optimal antiabuse pharmacology has yet to emerge. Dr. John Coleman stresses that mature abuseresistant/abuse deterrent data need to emanate from longer-term surveillance programs. First-mover advantage for a distinct anti-abuse label awaits the sponsor whose drug survives real-world FDA and DEA scrutiny. The recent approval of King?s (KG) Embeda, the first of a new wave of purportedly abuseresistant formulations, signals hope. However, with real-world abuse deterrent performance far from assured, physicians and regulatory authorities are displaying a ?wait and see? approach to Embeda. King's Remoxy and Acurox have suffered regulatory setbacks. While these and other agents in development may indeed achieve clinical success as analgesics, meaningful realworld abuse deterrence data will be required for optimal labels and usage profiles.
