| Doctors pushed into using 'cheap' eye disease drug,isabel marant sneakers
Doctors are being pressured into using a cancer drug to treat patients with eye disease instead of the licensed treatment which is nearly 20 times more expensive. A Daily Mail investigation reveals that,roger vivier sale, despite safety fears, dozens of primary care trusts have told consultants to use Avastin rather than Lucentis to treat wet age-related macular degeneration, an eye disorder that can lead to blindness. Lucentis costs about £900 per injection and the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence has approved it to treat AMD,Isabel Marant Perkins. Oxfordshire NHS Trust uses Avastin for some eye conditions and plans to recommend its use for AMD. Not for eye treatment: NHS managers at Kent and Medway NHS Trust say the drug Avastin should be used as standard Alison Issott,Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, associate director of medicines management for NHS Kent and Medway, said: 'We will fund Lucentis if that is the treatment that the patient chooses.' The Royal College of Ophthalmologists only recommends Lucentis. Steve Winyard,isabel marant shoes, of the RNIB,roger vivier shoes, said patients were in no position to decide. He added: 'We're very concerned an unlicensed medicine is being routinely used in the eyes.' Roche, makers of Avastin,Roger Vivier Pumps, is not obliged to test its use in AMD, so publicly funded trials are under way. trial found the two drugs were equally effective in treating AMD after one year. But the rate of hospitalisations was 24 per cent for Avastin and 19 per cent for Lucentis. Some doctors attribute infections from Avastin to contamination by splitting vials into small doses. A Department of Health spokesman said: 'PCTs are required to make funding available to enable clinicians to prescribe Lucentis. 'Consultants can prescribe any treatment, including a product not licensed for a particular indication, where they consider this to be in the best interests of patients.' I don't know who 'Red Arrowed' my earlier comment of the uses of the Marigold Flower ? As it was in the Daily Mail as a TRUE Story a while back,check it out on Google.' Optician cured of Blindness in Marigold Miracle Cure'. It does help if your Great Grandmother was a vegetarian and a herbalist though. Regards , Grandfather George ! Actually theres a lot more to this story than was reported. Lucentis is expensive, but its the only recomeded drug for ARMD. Avastin has similar properties, but is not licensed and not properly tested for ARMD. Both drugs are made by the same drug company,discount merrell barefoot shoes, so they are not interested in testing avastin for ARMD when its usually used for cancer treatment, and they have a recognised treatment for ARMD in Lucentis. Its true that there is pressure on surgeons to use avastin as a cheaper option by PCT's around the country, but its unethical to prescribe it when there is an approved alternative. But the math doesn't add up, there is no cure for ARMD and treatment can be ongoing for years. Lucentis may cost £900 per treatment,isabel marant sneakers, but as the article states,giuseppe zanotti sale, its capped at £10000. Once the patient reaches this cap, the treatment doesn't stop, its supplied free by the drug company. Avastin has no cap, so ongoing treatment will cost more in the longer run. The only winner is the drug company. YOU NEED TO READ THIS BEFORE YOU RED ARROW IT.
