F Capsule Comments by Ernie Miatello The three Alzheimer's drugs on the market in Canada are usually used in the early stages of the disease. A new one, long used in Germany, could be the first one to be used in the late stages of this cruel, mind -robbing disease. The name of the drug is memantine. It's currently in clinical trials in the U.S. Not in Canada, yet. Researchers are still looking at the link between Coenzyme 0-10 and Parkinson's Disease. Groups of people took 300mg, 600mg or 1200 mg per day and the group taking the largest dose found the greatest benefit (measured by ability to perform everyday tasks). Unfortunately it's a very expensive chemical and more work has to be done to truly proof its effect. Tattoos are become quite common. Sometimes, after getting their tattoo, some people regret doing it and look to laser treatment to remove it. Some colours like yellow, orange and lavender can be difficult to remove. Black, blue, red and green colours respond better to laser removal. When splitting tablets, you can try pressing down on the tablet's edges with two fingers. Some manufacturers design their tablets with a curved shape to make them easier to split. Huron Apothecary Ltd.
