FDA Considers New Approach to Improve Safe Disposal of Prescription Opioid Analgesics, Decrease Unnecessary Exposure to Unused Medication
Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced it is seeking public comment on a potential change that would require opioid analgesics used in outpatient settings to be dispensed with prepaid mail-back envelopes and that pharmacists provide patient education on safe disposal of opioids. This potential modification to the existing Opioid Analgesic Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy would provide a convenient, additional disposal option for patients beyond those already available such as flushing, commercially available in-home disposal products, collection kiosks and takeback events.

BBB Tip: NFTs – Smart investment,
passing fad or huge risk?
| |
First, NFT stands for “non-fungible token.” If you’re like most people, that doesn’t help much. Think of it as a digital certificate of authenticity.
To better understand what non-fungible means, it helps to first define fungibility, which is the ability to replace an item with one just like it. Basically, something fungible is interchangeable. For example, when you end up with four quarters, you might not want to carry them around because they are heavy and they jingle, so you might trade them in for a one dollar bill. You have the same amount of money even though you traded metal for paper, four objects for one.

The rising corporate earnings gives a boost to
Wall Street closing higher.
| |
The U.S. & European stock markets ended the session with mixed results. In Europe, mostly down, Wall Street regained its winning ways as the diverse corporate earnings season has been revealing and quite active.
With the recent bank results being better than expected, some Bank stocks are rising as the interest rate increases will benefit the bank's profits.
The consensus estimates is that profits from most U.S. Public companies will continue to rise even o the scenario of increased costs. That places the stock market in a more bullish tone, we shall see how the next quarters develop.
