You know nothing. Also, what about side effects and drug interactions? Protonix is probably cleaner than a sugar pill. What about those poor slobs on multiple meds? Which happens to be most people????? The docs shouldn't take that into account, genius?

Oh...I'm so wounded....
Do you really think some BS-wielding rep armed with the latest sales Kool-Aid knows more about human pharmacology than a pharmacist or a physician?
Try knowing what the hell you are talking about, Shit-for-Brains. Go read your PIs and cater lunches. That's all you will ever be.

Hydergine LC for dementia. This was basically a Placebo with bad European Data. That was a true salesman's drug.
Clean, yes, but not the most efficacious. Didn't the FDA want protonix to be BID originally? And won't it make you fail a drug test?? lol
It is the most efficacious. Protonix 40mg. dose works just as well as nexium, without the side effects or drug interaction profile. Nexium is just marketed to death. DTC has been relentless for years. TV ads 100xs a day. They pay speakers more. Pay attendees at dinners.
No, BID by the FDA. You'll have to show that to me.
The drug test failures are linked to cheap inexpensive lame drug tests. A molecule will show up and causes the test to claim a failure. When they take a better test looking for the THC molecule in pot, then the protonix passes every time. Those shitty tests will show posoitive if you have one of thousands of by product molecules that may exist if smoking pot.
I don't know whether to laugh at those lousy tests or be angered for their ineptitude causing harm to the reputation of an unbelievably great drug )Protonix). I swear, if I had a bad thing to say about Protonix, I would. I don't even sell it any more.
You sound like such a fucking tool! You need to look at the independent S. Levin Report on BID dosing PPIs. Protonix works and that is all that really matters. It is viewed as the weakest of an extremely efficacious class. Who really cares, Protonix has good formulary coverage and that is what drs. and patients want.
There is very little efficacy and singulair-a leukotriene modifier- only blocks specific triggers -leukotrienes- ...it does not block all the other triggers that can cause an exacerbation. Merck sales strategy is to focus on the mild persistant condition and get drs to understand not all patients will respond to ICS (inhaled steroid), total bullshit, so singulair (a pill vs inhaled steroid) is preferred because it has very few side-effects.
I suggest you understand the severity of your childs asthma condition (ie, number of night time awakenings per month) and what triggers cause exaceration and have your dr rx appropriately....google "asthma guidelines" for more info.
Generally singulair is used for allergies because if those are controlled, it will reduce the # of asthma attacks because they are directly related, however, not all patients respond to singulair. Please research this, drs usually like to rx singulair 1st before an ICS because of the low s/e profile but to some patients singulair is as efficacious as a sugar pill, check the PI. Hope that helps and I am so glad I moved onto a different speciality because Merck's unethical marketing was definately not about patients first. Good luck
Rozerem. This is the most useless drug out there. No one in my territory likes it because it does not work and the sales numbers nationally are a flop.
XENICAL.......anything that causes "oily spotting", "flatulance with discharge", etc..... is a crappy drug to sell...........so to speak.
CR works well. When my CR ran out I used my wife's plain Ambien and I woke up at 3am. CR is great, it's the old Ambien that sucks. Also, I've tried Lunesta and it works great but leaves you feeling groggy for half the next day.
All of the Cox II - dangerous and not as efficacious. Give Naprosyn or Ibuprophen.
Cox IIs are awesome. I take one before drinking and have no headache the next day thanks to the long half life. Ya can't doo that with Nap or Prophen!
Radiation treatment/Chemotherapy--not useless just the worst--they only help if you survive the side effects and diseases you get from taking them.

I beg to differ.............I am a 26-year survivor of metastatic malignant melanoma, and I am here b/c of chemo.............

I am glad your treatments worked successfully for your cancer. I am a survivor of metatistic thyroid cancer and now have leukemia as a direct result of the high doses of radiation I had to take. So now my chances of dying have increased 100x fold because of the radiation treatment, and because the medical community is so complacent and my cancer is not that common, they won't bother to research any other forms of treatment for this type of cancer. But hey, I could have probably lived 20 more years without treatment with thyroid cancer, and now I get a life expectancy of 2 years because of all that shit radiation. I'm sure it all depends on the situation. Once again, didn't say they were useless--just the worst (as far as side effects, weighing risks vs. benefits, etc.).
Once again, congratulations on being a cancer survivor.

Thanks, and I am really sorry to hear your story. You are right, it does depend on the situation and the type of CA, the protocol used, age, health, etc, etc, etc........ I did 18 months of chemo, HEAVY radiation, and immuno-therapy. I KNOW that it is no fun. I truly hope that everything goes than it seems.............(PM me if you want to talk)

Hi everybody. I am a Pharmacist. Do you know what that means?
It means I wasted 6 years of my life in a Pharmacy program so that I can count pills. Sometimes I count by 5s, sometimes I count by 6s just so I can use my superior brain.
I am also very important, my mom told me so. I get to tell those "stupid" doctors that they are making a mistake in my opinion when they write the wrong drug. I hate when they remind me I am just a pill counter and tell me to shut the f up. Oh well I can always be mean to the reps when they come in. I wonder if we have a lunch today.
Are you serious? If I remember correctly, Nexium was superior to Prilosec in only 2 out of 4 studies listed in the original PI. Please. If patients are taking it PRN, there are products with faster onset. Just because Prilosec/Nexium has more indications (a function of being on the market longer and as the leader being able to fund the studies), doesn't mean doctors view it any differently.
SPORANOX. AT the time I sold Propulsid as well so here was my detail.
Dr I want to sell you this $650 toenail fungus medicine. "what do you mean toenail fungus is not a serious disease?" No you can't take this turd of a drug with any other fucking drug under the sun and your pts can't drink grapefruit juice because of the CYPp450 contraindication which will make their liver do backflips but what is more important dr, saving a pts life with HIV drugs, Diabetes drugs, CV drugs or having a pt have truley beautiful toenails at the beach? You decide.
That was pretty much my detail for the worst 2 1/2 years of my life
