Stability of Active Ingredients in Long-Expired Prescription Medications | Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmacology | JAMA Internal Medicine Debate exists regarding the relative potency of medications beyond their labeled expiration dates. Expired medications have not necessarily lost potency, since the expiration date is only an assurance that the labeled potency will last at least until that time.1 Clinical situations may arise in which expired drugs might be considered owing to lack of viable alternatives2 or financial concerns.3 Ongoing studies show that many medications retain their potency years after their initially labeled expiration dates.4 We sought to characterize the potency of some prescription medications that had expired decades ago. Eight long-expired medications with 15 different active ingredients were discovered in a retail pharmacy in their original, unopened containers. All had expired 28 to 40 years prior to analysis. Twelve of the 14 drug compounds tested (86%) were present in concentrations at least 90% of the labeled amounts, the generally recognized minimum acceptable potency.
Face the courage with Jason Gesser!! Profits and Pride at Stake, the Race for a Vaccine Intensifies WASHINGTON — Four months after a mysterious new virus began its deadly march around the globe, the search for a vaccine has taken on an intensity never before seen in medical research, with huge implications for public health, the world economy and politics. Seven of the roughly 90 projects being pursued by governments, pharmaceutical makers, biotech innovators and academic laboratories have reached the stage of clinical trials. With political leaders — not least President Trump — increasingly pressing for progress, and with big potential profits at stake for the industry, drug makers and researchers have signaled that they are moving ahead at unheard-of speeds. But the whole enterprise remains dogged by uncertainty about whether any coronavirus vaccine will prove effective, how fast it could be made available to millions or billions of people and whether the rush — compressing a process that can take 10 years into 10 months — will sacrifice safety.

After outlasting then No. 1 Duke in the Maui Invitational title game and dismantling North Dakota State on Monday, the Zags are No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 poll. Portland Trail Blazers insider and Gonzaga alum Jamie Hudson sounded off on the Zags early-season success, including their recent win over the Blue Devils. "If you would’ve told me 10 years ago that the Zags would beat Duke (ranked Number 1 at the time) outside of the NCAA tournament, when the Blue Devils had a potential number one draft pick, I probably wouldn’t have believed you," Hudson said. The Zags are 7-0 despite losing the Gonzaga big man for two months. The last time Gonzaga sat atop the AP Top 25 was during the 2016-17 season, the year they reached the NCAA National Championship game, where they lost to North Carolina. “They’re playing really well," Collins said.

With New Hot Spots Emerging, No Sign of a Respite In New York City, the daily onslaught of death from the coronavirus has dropped to half of what it was. In Chicago, a makeshift hospital in a lakefront convention center is closing, deemed no longer needed. And in New Orleans, new cases have dwindled to a handful each day. Yet across America, those signs of progress obscure a darker reality. The country is still in the firm grip of a pandemic with little hope of release. For every indication of improvement in controlling the virus, new outbreaks have emerged elsewhere, leaving the nation stuck in a steady, unrelenting march of deaths and infections. As states continue to lift restrictions meant to stop the virus, impatient Americans are freely returning to shopping, lingering in restaurants and gathering in parks. Coronavirus in America now looks like this: More than a month has passed since there was a day with fewer than 1,000 deaths from the virus. Rural towns that one month ago were unscathed are suddenly hot spots for the virus.
