Capsule Comments
with Ernie Miatello
Did you ever wonder how they name new drug prod-
ucts? Drug manufacturers have to consider how it
looks if the doctor's writing is a bit illegible, whether
the name fits on the capsule, whether it has any neg-
ative connotations, how it sounds to non -English-
speaking people. It should also be short and easy
to remember. 1
If you get a flu shot, it won't help keep you from getting colds. Flu and
colds are caused by different viruses. We remind people each year dur-
ing the cold season to wash your hands often throughout the day. This
will help keep the transmission of the virus to a minimum.
•
If you are pregnant and want to take something for your headache, what
can you take? Acetaminophen is the safest and is acceptable for short-
term use but not for continuous use. Avoid products that contain ASA,
Codeine or Ibuprofen.
A five -in -one vaccine was approved earlier this year by the Health Protec-
tion Branch of Health Canada. This vaccine shows fewer adverse reac-
tions and better compliance. It provides protection against five diseases
simultaneously... pertussis (whooping cough), diphtheria, tetanus, polio
and Hemophllus influenza.
