NAD And Reverse Aging

Do you think this is a case of putting profits first? Explain. Maybe so, but since this is a well known Pharmaceutical Company, I am quite sure they did not want their name/reputation tarnished.

There are many checkpoints to reduce the risk of these medications reaching patients Boards of Pharmacy need to continue to filter out the bad actors (distributers, pharmacists, and non-pharmacist purchasing agents). But the pharmacist is the final gatekeeper. Pharmacists need the tools, financial resources, and time to protect our

I think Big Pharma companies skew their data very regularly. Although this is not ethical, it's practiced in this field because there is a certain probability calculated as it relates to side effects and ineffectiveness. For instance when we take Tylenol as a child we eventually become tolerant to the dosage. As we get older we need to increase the dosage even more than is advertised to get relief. The Pharma companies do not advertise that ALL pills have a toxicity level and will affect our organs at some point in time. Each pill is tested for toxicity levels before being released to the public. With that said, these companies take on a certain amount of acceptable risk when producing medication. The public has accepted this risk with

companies and doctors to make a lot of money.” (Tab 5). Although pharmaceutical companies do

Lab research has suggested that resveratrol might have some powers against the diseases of aging -- including Alzheimer's disease. But evidence from human studies has been lacking.

The drug Lauwerpreshure was originally developed at Towson University, and was sponsored by BESPC. However, the University’s laboratory and equipment were used to create the drug but BESPC contributed money to buy the necessary compartments for the experiment. I would say that the rights of the drugs belongs to both the University and BESPC. However, we do not have significant information as to what documents were signed describing who owned the rights before the experiment was conducted. During the clinical trials, the drug company were the ones doing the clinical trials. I assume, if they were able to conduct the trials then they might have the rights to manufacture and mass-produce the drugs. Scientific American states, “The rationale underlying this perception regarding the influence of industry funding is fairly straightforward. Pharmaceutical companies or device manufacturers need to increase the sales of newly developed drugs or devices in order to generate adequate profits” (Rehman, 2015). Here, as we witness in the case study, the pharmaceutical company did not really focus much of their time on the trial studies. The animal trials should have lasted longer before moving on to Phase I of the human trials. If this had been done then their might not have been any casualties in Phase II. BESPC just wanted to increase the trial period so they can start mass-producing the product and getting profit. The company should have used a non-maleficence approach where their goal ought to have been to do no harm with the

In the article,Natural compound reduces signs of aging in healthy mice,scientists from St. Louis School of Medicine in Washington figured out a way to stop cells’ reproduction of energy and how it ages humans.Scientists gave healthy mice a supplement of the natural compound of, NWN, to make up for the loss of energy. The natural compound also reduced the signs of aging.

If there’s one thing I learned after becoming a beauty editor that I wish I knew earlier, it’s that starting an anti-aging routine in your early twenties—aka before wrinkles, fine lines, etc. have cropped up on your complexion—is golden advice. Before, I used to skip right over anti-aging skin care products that promised a reduction in wrinkles over time or plumper, bouncier skin. Retinol? Why on earth would I need retinol, the ultimate anti-aging ingredient, I’d often think to myself. Well let me tell you, those days are long gone. You might not see any signs of aging, but you’re still aging. My new skin care motto is all about preventing problems before they arise, so to my old self I bid good riddance. Bring on all of the wrinkle-fighting, fine line-diminishing, and skin-plumping formulas out

There are thousands of genes which relevance for the pathobiology of aging, but there are few genes may control the rate of aging. Other than that, some theories of aging point to the influence of genetics redundancy in the aging process and others are concerned with insufficiency of repair system, which aging result from the accumulation of somatic damage or unrepaired DNA lesion. It is not clear whether age related based in repair mechanism which may be intrinsic to the aging process, reflect information encoded in the DNA, environmental effects or the interaction of genetic and environmental effects. This show both genetic and environmental mechanism are probably important to intrinsic aging

A positive note, over time the health status of our aging population has shown some improvements, this could be linked to the lower disease burden of recent generations. More seasoned individuals can live fiery and dynamic lives until a later age than in the past and on the off-chance that they’re encouraged to be profitable; they can be contributors as well. Additionally the likelihood of current intensive biomedical anti-aging studies should not be left out; they may increase the healthy and productive time of human life in years to

Big pharmaceutical companies have proven to be a little greedier than every other industry in the United States lately. Their greed is only surpassed perhaps by that of the tobacco and oil industries. Their ethical misconduct continues to grow, especially in the way they test their treatments during clinical trials. For instance, doctors are paid to sign up patients for clinical drugs, and this compromises doctors' objectivity due to financial interest. Dr Carera, who owns a large diabetic practice, was considering joining the physicians who were prescribing their diabetic patients with a new drug that was undergoing clicnical trials. If the clinical trials offered Dr Carera no compensation, and no luxurious information trip, his objectivity wouldn't be compromised. This is because Dr Carera would recruit potential patients for the clinical trials based on necessity, rather than the doctor's own financial

The pharmaceutical companies are earning fat profits from the customers. Often time, the drug companies justify high drug price for high R&D cost and the high failure rate in inventing new drugs. However, a research done by Forbes shows that the profit margin of the pharmaceutical companies can be as high as 20% and drugs were overprescribed for profits. This indicate that the drug companies care only about profits, but not the rights of the patients, which is contradicted to their so called mission to improve the human life.

Another question we come across in this case is "Should these pharmaceutical companies have a moral obligation to make the drugs available to the people who they performed clinical trials on?". Again we clearly should see that the pharmaceutical companies should allow the access of these drugs to the people that are being used to test their products. There is a huge risk for these people who are taking a new drug, not knowing exactly what the outcome can be and are merely treated as guinea pigs for the

The posable ethical dilemma is that is basically the named branded company holding back or causing a barrier for the generic is unethical (Payette, Grant, 2013). There are four moral principles that can be used as a guide line to increase medical ethics. With the ever growing price of in health care and the increasing cost of mediation it a wander if any of these four principles are being used (Payette, Grant, 2013).

Pharmaceutical companies should attempt to be as transparent as possible when marketing prescription drugs to the public. Their marketing efforts should not only convey the benefits of the prescription drug, but also easily convey the possible risks associated with the prescription drugs. Many patients may tend to think the benefits outweigh the potential risks of prescription drugs and may pressure their physician to prescribe it. Due to the way the prescription drug is marketed, the consumer may believe the
