Agree 💯
Emphasis on #generic names would help eliminate ambiguity, promote a perception among the public that doctors are focused on active drug ingredients rather than drug companies, & decrease cognitive load

How every #American #city became exactly the same

Johnson & Johnson makes a drug called bedaquiline which is essential for treating certain kinds of TB. The patent for bedaquiline is set to expire next week, yet, J&J is trying a sneaky tactic to extend their patent, which means that thousands of people may die needlessly from TB in the next few years.

Ask J&J to change their mind. And if they don't remember their brands.

For more info, here's John Green: https://youtu.be/tMhgw5SW0h4

There is no #generic for #jardiance.
Without #insurance I gotta call the doc and ask him to prescribe something else.
Sigh.

Uzun bir bekleyiş ve mücadelenin ardından #FreeBSD üzerinde #Playback #Capture ve #Midi özellikleri ile kullanabileceğim bir #SoundCard sahibi olabildim, #Behringer #UMC204HD. #Generic #Snd_uaudio sürücüsü ve #Umidi ile çalışıyor. Uzun süredir #Default #Kernel kullanmadığım için standart kurulumda çalışır mı bilmiyorum ama zaten kendi kernelimi derlediğim için sorun olmadı. Şimdi geriye gerçek midi portu olan (şu adı midi olupta bağlantısı USB olanlardan değil) bir midi klavye bulmak kaldı.

Why is #Geoffrey used as a #generic name for the #badguy in Movies and TV??? That's my name! it sucks. Why is it I #broadcast to #zero viewers on #twitch ? Why is it I do everything I can to make people happy; To have it thrown back in my face??? Try and help people from making #foolish decisions.?? #disparity

☝️If you are willing to become a contributor to the 💃#SLSA Generators like Trusted #Go, #Generic, #Container, and #Docker-based generators, you should add your e2e tests to the example package, and thanks to @ianlewis for the detailed explanation of these 🤸

Ooooh just switched from hot to cold pack… ooooohhhhhh yes. Between that and the medication. Definitely some relief.

Today I watched #HideAndSeek on #HBOMAX. I've never seen a movie so #uninspired.

Everything felt so #generic from the main #plot to the #PlotTwist. Even the #movie has so many #PlotHoles like:

If the #korean #crazy #lady is the #killer all this time. How they got photos of his #brother being the killer around the place?

I fell right now that I've lost an hour and a half of my life in this #trash.
The ending is the #worst part so #forgettable.

Happy #PharmPhriday! A question I get a lot is “what’s a #biosimilar?” Well, it’s like a #generic but for #biologics

Because a biologic is made from something living, you can’t exactly copy the drug recipe like you can with generics. There are also some differences in testing.

A biosimilar has no clinically meaningful differences from an existing FDA-approved biologic.

A generic drug demonstrates bioequivalence to an existing FDA-approved drug.

The 4th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals ruled that the label "gruyere" is now #generic under the US #trademark law and that it does not refer to the Swiss #Gruyère #cheese, specifically.

@shanselman If #congress would stop taking #handouts from #bigpharma, we could get drugs to actually become #generic when the #patent #expires. #markcuban helps, if he carries your particular brand of #insulin in his online #pharmacy.

In truth, probably one of the worst things Twitter has done was to suppress tweets from the global "People's Vaccine" campaign that was campaigning for a #generic #COVID19 #Vaccine, free of #patents. Twitter worked in cahoots with the big pharmaceutical companies.

How many people, particularly in the #GlobalSouth suffered because of big pharma patents on vaccines?

"Patent reform and lower drug prices should be bipartisan priorities"

Opinion: Congress must act on a bipartisan bill to protect Americans from medicine shortages https://thehill.com/opinion/congress-blog/3829080-congress-must-act-on-a-bipartisan-bill-to-protect-americans-from-medicine-shortages/ "Supply-driven #generic #pharmaceutical market failures have existed for more than [20 yr.], resulting in ongoing shortages and quality risks. At any given time, there are typically about 150-200 generic drugs in shortage." I was affected by one such shortage that eventually caused a permanent rift with my then-GP who was annoyed by my asking for alternatives.

#Amazon has a new subscription for #Prime members called RxPass, where subscribers can get #generic medications for $5/mo + free delivery

@omniumgatherum It is disputed that the pizza box was a critical clue. Good story though. Also: Tweet of the Year.

Actually, we #need a more #generic #term than #Tweet for #microblog #comments including on that service. Even if so far stupid mostly stupids on there.

#Rust tip of the day.

If you have a #generic procedure called from lots of places, and you need to trace which variant was called, use this:

dbg!(std::any::type_name::<T>());

The "T" represents the generic type on your procedure.
