(APP):"Diphenhydramine hydrochloride, the generic equivalent of Benadryl® marketed by Parke-Davis, a division of Pfizer, Inc., is used to ameliorate allergic reactions to blood products, as an adjunct to epinephrine in anaphylaxis after acute symptoms have been controlled and for other uncomplicated allergic conditions. Diphenhydramine units and sales have grown over the past five years with sales in 2001 exceeding $11.6 million as reported by IMS. Inconsistent market supply issues related to diphenhydramine led to our decision to offer this acute need drug," said Patrick Soon-Shiong, M.D., chairman, president and chief executive officer. "We are offering diphenhydramine hydrochloride injection in vials with latex-free stoppers, an important consideration for patients who may be allergic to the microscopic amounts of latex that can stick to the end of a needle during administration." http://www.appdrugs.com/060302PR.htm ****************************************************** ****************************************************** ****************************************************** ****************************************************** ****************************************************** Follow us on: Blogger: http://4nursing.blogspot.com Facebook: http://www.nursefriendly.com/facebook Linked In: http://www.linkedin.com/in/nursefriendly Nursing Entrepreneurs, Nurses In Business, http://nursingentrepreneurs.ning.com/ Twitter! http://www.nursefriendly.com/twitter StumbleUpon, http://www.nursefriendly.com/stumbleupon ****************************************************** If your website is not listed here, we encourage you to submit it: Add Your Website/URL.
