Doctors Cash In on Drug Tests for Seniors, and Medicare Pays the Bill - WSJ - WSJ

Read the full article: Doctors Cash In on Drug Tests for Seniors, and Medicare Pays the Bill - WSJ - WSJ:

"Doctors are testing seniors for drugs such as heroin, cocaine and “angel dust” at soaring rates, and Medicare is paying the bill.

It is a roundabout result of the war on pain-pill addiction.

Medical guidelines encourage doctors who treat pain to test their patients, to make sure they are neither abusing pills nor failing to take them, possibly to sell them.

Now, some pain doctors are making more from testing than from treating."

FDA: Consumer Updates > Mixing Medications and Dietary Supplements Can Endanger Your Health

• Trusted FDA GMP online training programs and courses by SkillsPlus International Inc.

Read the full article: FDA - Consumer Updates > Mixing Medications and Dietary Supplements Can Endanger Your Health:

"What is FDA’s Role?

Although FDA has oversight of the dietary supplement industry, it is the supplement manufacturers and distributors that are responsible for making sure their products are safe before they’re marketed. Manufacturers are required to produce dietary supplements that meet minimum quality standards, do not contain contaminants or impurities, and are accurately labeled.

FDA does not review supplements for effectiveness (as it does for prescription and OTC medications) before they enter the market. If the dietary supplement contains a new dietary ingredient, the manufacturer must submit for FDA’s review data on that ingredient’s safety—but not its effectiveness.

FDA takes enforcement actions against manufacturers if their products are found to be unsafe, adulterated and/or misbranded (for example, if their labeling is false or misleading) or if products marketed as dietary supplements are making claims to diagnose, mitigate, treat, cure, or prevent a disease."
