This has been the week for Johnson and Johnson, first the recalls and now the FDA questioning the combination of drugs offering relief and helping people fall asleep with getting pain relief from the acetaminophen. This is not the first inquiry with consumer products as last year the FDA called...

Here we go again, more money spent on the marijuana subject again. I am neutral on this topic as far as pot itself and do not have a card and am not in medical need for relief and am not a user, but darn the money and time this is all taking and the waste that keeps going in and out of the courts...

Patients need to already be using an opioid pain medication around the clock. I thought these types of drugs were being scrutinized, but ok that cancer patients who need the relief can still get it. The medicine will be sent directly to a patient’s home though? Hopefully it may be...
