A potential new gout drug, brand named Arcalyst, has been flagged during its clinical trials by the FDA. Although the data shows that Arcalyst works as it should, to help lower uric acid levels as an addition to allopurinol, the FDA says its negative side effects may outweigh its positives. According to MedPage Today, Arcalyst can cause malignancies.

However, this drug is considered to fall into the ‘unmet medical need’ group. That is, the drug can be given to those who can not tolerate the usual gout medications, such as Colcrys, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Arcalyst could also be a useful prescribing tool for doctors with patients who may have drug interactions.

Until this drug is approved, gout sufferers will have to use what medication are on the market for this painful conditions. Colcrys, one of the most popular gout medications, is made from the extremely inexpensive autumn crocus, but is produced by only one American manufacturer. As such, American customers will have to pay significantly more if they buy Colcrys from their local pharmacy. Consider shopping online, you can buy colchicine for much less at a Canadian pharmacy.

Big Mountain Drugs is helping the green movement this week by offering a prescription drug coupon for everyone who recycles their unused prescriptions. The coupon code is valid for fifteen dollars off of any prescription, and is available for a week only. All new customers can use the coupon code rx15 to receive the discount on their medications. This coupon is particularly useful for customers who buy daily prescriptions such as generic Plavix and generic Lexapro.

Multiple towns in Louisiana are providing special drop zones for customers to safely dispose of their unused prescription and over the counter medications. When unused medications expire, patients often flush them down the toilet, or dispose of them with their household garbage. What many people do not realize is that the flushed medications can enter the water system. There, they can be ingested by plants and animals, or taint the ground water supply. Be sure to safely dispose of your medications in the proper locations, just like a refrigerator or computer disposal. From there, you can buy your prescriptions with the confidence that you are not unduly affecting your environment.

With the constant turnover in your medicine cabinet, you may be noticing a financial burden. However, there are many ways to save on your medications. Buying generic medications is one of the best ways to save money on your prescription purchases. A generic is a medication that has an expired patent. Generic alternatives to expensive brand name medications such as Lipitor and Advair are chemically and therapeutically the same as the brand-name original, but cost significantly less, as the manufacturer does not have to recoup expensive marketing, research, and development costs. Remember to also use coupons wherever possible. Buying online offers many more buying options, such as generic or brand name, or the availability of coupons.
