There are some interesting new drugs out there. I found four that fascinate me and would like to know your thoughts, whether you're a medical professional, consumer, or just spellbound by medical developments in general. Here are some links to accompany the poll to the right of the page:
Insulin by inhalation - Exubera bit the dust, but is the future of this delivery method exciting?
Pylera - A 3-in-1 drug regimen for the treatment of H. pylori, which is responsible for 90% of ulcers. One pill versus three (bismuth subcitrate potassium, metronidazole, and tetracycline).
artemisinin - wormwood extract, fighting malaria, ancient Chinese secret?
Xyntha for hemophiliacs - Finally, hamsters can be useful!

Sapphire, this was cool! I love learning about the new medications out there.
On another note, you inspired me to buy my DH a trebuchet for his birthday. He hasn't put it together yet, but I'm sure it will be in the works this weekend :D

Have I told you lately that you scare me? LOL j/k
Heard of all but one of the meds, the one for hemophiliacs, so thank you for that!
I'm way behind in catching up on blogs and on email, sad to say, but working my hiney off - well, don't I wish, but working hard just the same.
How's tricks?
