...enough to replicate and pass their traits to the next generation. With repeated exposure, a population will become increasingly resistant, with a larger and larger proportion of the organisms showing the protective attributes. Already, U.S. health authorities recommend against using two other flu antivirals, amantadine and rimantadine (sold as Symmetrel and Flumadine, respectively), due to concerns that influenza A has become resistant. But, so far, Tamiflu resistance doesn't seem to be following the logical path. In Japan, Tamiflu prescriptions are commonplace, but researchers there continue to report low levels of drug-resistance: less than 3% this season and last...
...allocate fairly what was left, and the CDC says 58 million flu shots will be available to those who need them most. Advice for everyone else: wash your hands frequently; stay away from people who have the flu; and consider taking a prescription antiviral medicine like Tamiflu, Flumadine or Symmetrel, which can reduce your chances of getting sick...
Many boxers with cavum septi pellucidi suffer permanently from the Parkinsonian symptoms that sent Ali to the hospital. After two days in the hospital, however, Fahn reported "that Ali was responding so well to doses of Sinemet and Symmetrel, drugs that replenish the brain's supply of dopamine, that his symptoms were "melting away." Visitors, including the Rev. Jesse Jackson, said that Ali was entertaining other patients with magic tricks and seemed to be his old ebullient self. Before leaving the hospital for a trip to the Sudan, Ali vowed to mend his ways...
...long dreamed of producing "another nylon," but the company has introduced few notably profitable products in the past decade. Several that did appear turned out to be expensive failures. Corfam, the synthetic leather, is being phased out after an investment of $100 million. Other disappointments: an antiflu pill called Symmetrel and a venture into the production of photo film. Last week the board announced a decline in earnings from $93 million in the first quarter of 1970 to $74 million in the equivalent period this year...
...company has spent generously on drug research for two decades, but its first really promising product, an oral flu-preventive pill called Symmetrel, has been a commercial flop since it was introduced in 1967. Reason: Du Pont lacked both expertise and a sales force for drug marketing, and one result was that doctors generally did not prescribe it. Corfam, the first synthetic leather to "breathe," cost $60 million to get into production in 1964, but quick and stiff competition has made it only barely profitable. Du Pont is now improving the versatility of Corfam-in order to expand...
