FDA Approval

[Guest guest]

Wouldn't that just be in the low dose form though?  In " normal " doses it has been long available for the tx of CD issues, so long it is off patent and available as a generic and quite inexpensive.  I would think, although I could be wrong, that the 50 mg tabs would still be available for CD based issues and still available as a generic like it is now.  Buying is specifically reformulated and dosed to say 4.5 mg would be what would be restricted and likely very expensive.  Right?

Should low dose naltrexone become fda approved and assigned to a drug company to do the study that company will require exclusivity.  Once they own the LDN they can pressure other countries  to not export.

Thank you for picking up on a question I was asking!  Somehow I don’t think it will as you’re still getting the 50mg tablet – that was my point.

 

As Naltrexone is already an approved drug, I’m not understanding how by allowing it to be prescribed in low doses can hike the price up.  I’m obviously missing something.

 

To those who have managed to convince their Drs about prescribing LDN because:-

 

- they can see you’re not stupid (one responder said to me)

- they have faith in you because they can see you’re a smart person

- they know you know what you’re talking about

- you took the time and trouble to really research about your condition and that’s how you found out about LDN, therefore anyone can

 

The responses go on and all I can say is that is absolutely wonderful. 

 

I’m just the messenger here passing on what Dr Jill is doing.

Ms Crocker has a valid point also. Now if LDN is approved by the FDA, and the price goes up a hundredfold, would we be able to purchase the 50mg Naltrexone from Allday Chemist or United  Pharmacies at current prices?

An interesting question, I can not find a similar situation anywhere, where a low dose of a drug is controlled but a higher dose is not. My best guess is that if the FDA and drug companies are involved we will be screwed.StirlingFrom: Davey <dvyjms@...>Subject: [low dose naltrexone] FDA Approvallow dose naltrexone Date: Sunday, April 3, 2011, 3:49 PM

If memory serves (and it may not) for a drug to get a 'new' patent, it has to be

a new drug. Now this may mean that something like naltrexone would have some

tiny change made to it which will not likely affect effect, but it will be

enough of a refinement to warrant a patent.

I don't think that simply making a drug into another dosage would qualify.
