Dr Alim, seharusnya saya yang belajar dari dokter Alim.
Tentunya kalau memmpelajari Disaster Medicine tidak hanya
soal triase tetapi juga belajar PTDS (Post Traumatic
Depression Syndrome) ya? Selamat belajar tetapi dengan doa
mudah-mudahan tidak ada disaster di Indonesia (mana
mungkin?). Atau kalau ada disaster tidak banyak korbannya,
terutama karena sudah ada dokter ahli disaster medicine.
Selamat belajar. Cewek Itali banyak yang cantik.

Subject: [Dokter Umum] FDA approves contraceptive with
folate
September 24, 2010 — The US Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) today
approved an oral contraceptive — the first of its kind —
that is intended
both to prevent pregnancy and reduce the risk for neural
tube defects in
their offspring if and when they give birth.
The new contraceptive, Beyaz (Bayer HealthCare
Pharmaceuticals), contains
levomefolate calcium, a metabolite of folic acid that
helps produce and
maintain new cells in the body. Low folate levels in women
have been linked
with neural tube defects in their children such as spina
bifida, resulting
in recommendations that women of childbearing age
supplement their diet with
folate.
"Combining an oral contraceptive with folate is important,
because women may
become pregnant during [oral contraceptive] use or shortly
after
discontinuation, possibly before seeking preconception
counseling from their
healthcare provider," said Dr. Anita Nelson, professor of
obstetrics and
gynecology at the Harbor–University of California at Los
Angeles Medical
Center, Torrance, California, in a company press release.
"For women who
want to use an oral contraceptive, Beyaz offers a new
option for women to
receive daily folate supplementation."
The approval is based on the already-approved oral
contraceptive
drospirenone/ethinyl estradiol (Yaz, Bayer HealthCare
Pharmaceuticals),
which contains the same doses of estrogen and progestin.
Like Yaz, Beyaz is approved for:
Preventing pregnancy
Treating symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder
(PMDD) in women who
choose to prevent pregnancy with an oral contraceptive
Treating moderate acne vulgaris in women at least 14 years
old who desire an
oral contraceptive for birth control
For women who choose an oral contraceptive as their method
of birth control,
Beyaz is also approved for raising folate levels to reduce
the risk for
neural tube defects in offspring.
Beyaz increased folate levels in women who participated in
a multicenter,
double-blind, randomized, controlled US trial designed to
determine product
efficacy. In a Germany study, folate levels remained
elevated for several
weeks after Beyaz was discontinued.
Beyaz safety and efficacy data for the contraception,
PMDD, and acne
indications came from previous clinical trials of Yaz.
The FDA said that the clinical trials of Beyaz did not
yield any findings
that would suggest it differs from Yaz in terms of its
overall safety
profile. The agency expects that the most common adverse
events for Beyaz
will be the same as those for Yaz. Adverse effects most
frequently reported
by users of combined oral contraceptives are irregular
uterine bleeding,
nausea, breast tenderness, and headaches.
As with other oral contraceptives, Beyaz is not intended
for use in women
older than 35 years who smoke.
More information about today's FDA announcement is
available on the agency's Web site.
