Question 1

is the skinception stretch mark product safe to use? why is fda approval not needed?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: I would not use this if i was pregnant or going to be pregnant as it is absorbed into the skin. No fda because it is not considered a prescriptive drug and i would be leary of any claims (they can claim anything). The best claims are backed up by double blind studies not paid for by the company. Buyer be ware.

Question 2

is it safe to use home dopplers all the time? like listen once or twice everyday? the doppler i have is ce certified. can't see any fda approval thou

Accepted Answer

Maybe not.: The fda does not recommend using home fetal dopplers because their safety is unknown.

Question 3

when will naloxone be available otc? i know cvs is making plans to sell it otc. they also have approval from fda. which forms will it be available in?

Accepted Answer

Narcan saves lives!!: As of Oct 27, 2017 Narcan was available OTC in 46 States. In Rhode Island there are NaloxBox's in various public locations that can be used in an emergency (at no charge). In RI folks are serious about saving lives ! https://vitals.lifehacker.com/narcan-is-now-available-over-the-counter-in-45-states-1819896107.  Nasal spray is available. I don't know if Evzio requires a prescription.

Question 4

if the u.s. fda is not involved in approving the use of ubiquinol then who is? is such approval  authoritative? 1 doctor said there are toxins inside.

Accepted Answer

Try to find a: product that has GMP (Good Manufacturing Process) on the label or call the company and ask if they have voluntarily chosen to be GMP certified.  It is a safeguard for natural products.  Peace and good health.

Question 5

i'm afraid now that they made the phizer vaccine fda approval as that's just their way to get more people vaccinated just to eliminate the population .we don't know what that vaccine will do to people in a year or two years. wht do you think?

Accepted Answer

: I have a PhD in immunology in addition to an MD and I took the vaccine the day after it came out. Covid-19 can kill you and you may not live to see a year from now. Get the vaccine.

Question 6

does bisoprolol have fda approval in nyha class 4 heart failure?

Accepted Answer

Beta blockers: Beta blockers are typically indicated in class IV chf, however, they may be contraindicated in acute decompensated systolic chf.

Question 7

is it true that the "functional cure" for hiv using "gene modification" has been granted fda approval?

Accepted Answer

No.: This is not true. What the FDA did approve recently is further human testing of a possible means of genetic modification to produce a "functional cure" for HIV. This is still an experimental procedure and has to go through much testing and many hurdles before it may be possible to use this in actual patients. Good luck.

Question 8

a-fib, stroke prophylaxis: arixtra works diff from warfarin, no approval by fda & no studies establishing its effectiveness. how can it be acceptable?

Accepted Answer

Arixtra: It is different and it is an anti clotting drug that is effective. Discuss with the doctor why it is being chosen. We do use it when the situation is appropriate.

Question 9

when serelaxin gets fda approval can this cardiovascular prescription be used as a preventative  front line defense before any heart failure event takes place?

Accepted Answer

No way to tell: Can not tell until a medication gets approved and we see what it has been shown to benefit and what risks it has and we can judge how to use it.
