RUSH TRANSCRIPT The food ░░░░░░░░ drug administration is proposing ░░░░░░░░ requirements to make it ░░░░░░░░ for patients to understand ░░░░░░░░ prescription medications according to ░░░░░░░░ FDA this will help ░░░░░░░░ quote preventable adverse drug ░░░░░░░░ and improve outcomes Here ░░░░░░░░ discuss with us is ░░░░░░░░ Sue Dakota s a ░░░░░░░░ certified intern Good to ░░░░░░░░ you doctor I was ░░░░░░░░ the background information on ░░░░░░░░ And I was waiting ░░░░░░░░ the list of changes ░░░░░░░░ proposals and I didn ░░░░░░░░ actually see this What ░░░░░░░░ the FDA proposing here ░░░░░░░░ are just beginningto think ░░░░░░░░ this but they know ░░░░░░░░ something has to be ░░░░░░░░ because patients don t ░░░░░░░░ the proper instructions Doctors ░░░░░░░░ can t read that ░░░░░░░░ print Do you realize ░░░░░░░░ we spend 136 billion ░░░░░░░░ year in dealing with ░░░░░░░░ effects of adverse drug ░░░░░░░░ What if we could ░░░░░░░░ that back into our ░░░░░░░░ system And two out ░░░░░░░░ three visits to the ░░░░░░░░ result in a prescription ░░░░░░░░ some kind So probably ░░░░░░░░ will have like 3 ░░░░░░░░ prescriptions written each year ░░░░░░░░ the U S there ░░░░░░░░ many different kinds of ░░░░░░░░ that could happen Patients ░░░░░░░░ the wrong drug at ░░░░░░░░ wrong time They under ░░░░░░░░ They overdosed Or there ░░░░░░░░ reactions between various drugs ░░░░░░░░ that we have patients ░░░░░░░░ out to these platforms ░░░░░░░░ apps and getting drugs ░░░░░░░░ am I the practitioner ░░░░░░░░ to know what is ░░░░░░░░ to happen I don ░░░░░░░░ know We have a ░░░░░░░░ where we can follow ░░░░░░░░ drugs the patients are ░░░░░░░░ However not every state ░░░░░░░░ If there is a ░░░░░░░░ that someone is accessing ░░░░░░░░ of the west I ░░░░░░░░ not be able to ░░░░░░░░ that information To me ░░░░░░░░ is very scary I ░░░░░░░░ internal medicine and medical ░░░░░░░░ loss I followed his ░░░░░░░░ very carefully My patients ░░░░░░░░ pretty sophisticated but they ░░░░░░░░ a lot of mistakes ░░░░░░░░ example just the other ░░░░░░░░ a patient came in ░░░░░░░░ of them are my ░░░░░░░░ husband and wife The ░░░░░░░░ said Thomas is just ░░░░░░░░ viagra like they are ░░░░░░░░ mints I am like ░░░░░░░░ Right Oh no I ░░░░░░░░ t even know he ░░░░░░░░ on it okay Why ░░░░░░░░ t I know he ░░░░░░░░ getting from a platform ░░░░░░░░ we don t even ░░░░░░░░ it registered here in ░░░░░░░░ York State Turns out ░░░░░░░░ guy is low testosterone ░░░░░░░░ t that is why ░░░░░░░░ drugs weren t working ░░░░░░░░ when we treat that ░░░░░░░░ can get him to ░░░░░░░░ weight lower his cholesterol ░░░░░░░░ these things come into ░░░░░░░░ The other thing with ░░░░░░░░ new weight loss medications ░░░░░░░░ and ozempic These are ░░░░░░░░ that were originally being ░░░░░░░░ to diabetic people and ░░░░░░░░ other people are using ░░░░░░░░ The thing is they ░░░░░░░░ t always get them ░░░░░░░░ there is a national ░░░░░░░░ They tried to go ░░░░░░░░ these platforms They don ░░░░░░░░ get the proper care ░░░░░░░░ are not really seeing ░░░░░░░░ a physician hand holding ░░░░░░░░ and telling them what ░░░░░░░░ do Then there are ░░░░░░░░ national shortages which I ░░░░░░░░ sure you are aware ░░░░░░░░ What is a patient ░░░░░░░░ to do Let s ░░░░░░░░ they are on this ░░░░░░░░ for diabetes and they ░░░░░░░░ t get anymore Their ░░░░░░░░ might not even know ░░░░░░░░ they can t get ░░░░░░░░ medication What are they ░░░░░░░░ to do The blood ░░░░░░░░ are going to go ░░░░░░░░ They re going to ░░░░░░░░ really tired or they ░░░░░░░░ get tremendous weight regain ░░░░░░░░ hunger So there is ░░░░░░░░ lot of lack of ░░░░░░░░ It sounds like doctor ░░░░░░░░ think this is a ░░░░░░░░ in the right direction ░░░░░░░░ has taken so long ░░░░░░░░ get here I think ░░░░░░░░ is the bureaucracy And ░░░░░░░░ have different rules so ░░░░░░░░ New York State we ░░░░░░░░ our own rules for ░░░░░░░░ but we have to ░░░░░░░░ that just in this ░░░░░░░░ state area people are ░░░░░░░░ them filled in New ░░░░░░░░ and Connecticut Then there ░░░░░░░░ the snowbirds that go ░░░░░░░░ Florida all winter long ░░░░░░░░ then they come back ░░░░░░░░ is right We have ░░░░░░░░ realize that you can ░░░░░░░░ from some of these ░░░░░░░░ As people get older ░░░░░░░░ gets much more risky ░░░░░░░░ is called polypharmacy People ░░░░░░░░ on multiple medications After ░░░░░░░░ is on for medications ░░░░░░░░ it over the counter ░░░░░░░░ prescription the risk of ░░░░░░░░ effects rises exponentially Now ░░░░░░░░ other thing that no ░░░░░░░░ really talks about what ░░░░░░░░ the reactions people can ░░░░░░░░ from over the counter ░░░░░░░░ Let s say you ░░░░░░░░ a bad back or ░░░░░░░░ bad knee or headaches ░░░░░░░░ you are popping advil ░░░░░░░░ can have bad reactions ░░░░░░░░ a lot of medications ░░░░░░░░ this really does sound ░░░░░░░░ a move forward that ░░░░░░░░ been long awaited at ░░░░░░░░ point Good luck to ░░░░░░░░ patient s wife Dr ░░░░░░░░ Decotiis Thank you very ░░░░░░░░ for joining us That ░░░░░░░░
