Comment
Minister’s first speech
In her first public
speech as parliamentary under-secretary of state for health, Hazel
Blears has said that action is needed to ensure that medicines management
becomes fundamental to pharmacy practice.
New triptan
Research has shown that eletriptan,
a new oral treatment for migraine, is safe and effective in patients who
respond poorly to sumatriptan treatment. However, the drug may not be
available to patients for a couple of months.
Sun protection
The ninth article in our continuing education series on travel medicine
looks at the effects of ultraviolet radiation from the sun on the skin
and the preventive measures that can be taken to avoid skin damage.
Melatonin
The final article in our series on nutraceuticals is intended to increase
pharmacists’ awareness of melatonin, which, although it is not licensed
in the United Kingdom, is sometimes purchased by patients from the United
States or via the internet.
