Atacand

Atacand: The family of products to which Atacnad belongs has been well accepted in the market and competes in the fastest growing sector in terms of value of the global hypertension market angiotensin II antagonists plain and combinations with diuretic ; . A 32mg dose is available to support the use of Atzcand in hypertension and congestive heart failure CHF ; . Launches of the 32mg dosage strength outside the US continued, and this strength is now available in most major markets. The clinical programme investigating the effect of Atacajd up to 32mg dosage ; on retinopathy normotensive in diabetic patients DIRECT ; continued during 2006. Seloken Toprol-XL is the world's leading product by sales in the beta-blocker plain and combinations with diuretic ; class. As reported last year, on 17 January 2006 summary judgment was entered against AstraZeneca in the ongoing patent litigation in the US involving three companies challenging AstraZeneca's patents and seeking FDA approval to sell metoprolol succinate the generic name for Seloken Toprol-XL ; . The Court found that the patents-in-suit are invalid and unenforceable. We disagree with and are disappointed by these conclusions and have appealed to the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The appeal has been fully briefed and argued and a decision of the Federal Circuit is expected in 2007. Further information about this litigation is set out on page 142. In November, Sandoz formerly Eon ; launched its 25mg metoprolol succinate product in the US and we announced that we had entered into a supply and distribution agreement with Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc. to distribute an authorised generic version of metoprolol succinate extended-release tablets in the US. Currently, the authorised generic product will be distributed only in the 25mg dosage strength. The signing of this agreement does not affect the availability of our branded Toprol-XL. We will continue to manufacture Toprol-XL and to make it available in the US. The timing of any approval or entry to the market of other proposed generic products is hard to predict, and consequently the 2007 financial contribution from sales of Toprol-XL in the US is difficult to forecast with any degree of certainty. Exanta: In February 2006, we announced that we were withdrawing the anti-coagulant Exanta melagatran ximelagatran ; from the market and terminating its development. This decision was triggered by new patient. Uterine fibroids leiomyomas ; are extremely common benign tumors, which are primarily located within the uterine cavity submucosal fibroids ; or on the serosal surface of the uterus. Uterine artery embolization UAE ; , also known as transcatheter uterine fibroid embolization UFE ; , is a minimally invasive uterine-sparing treatment option for individuals with uterine fibroids. During UAE, a physician e.g., interventional radiologist ; selectively devascularizes the uterine fibroid tumor by injecting.

SMC recommendation Advice: following a full submission Trastuzumab Herceptin ; is accepted for restricted use within NHS Scotland for the treatment of patients with HER2 positive early breast cancer following surgery, chemotherapy neoadjuvant or adjuvant ; and radiotherapy if applicable ; . In the pivotal trial, the addition of one year of 3-weekly trastuzumab after adjuvant chemotherapy significantly increased disease-free survival compared with that in the observation group. The trial excluded patients with a range of cardiovascular conditions and trastuzumab treatment for early breast cancer is not recommended in such patients. In patients treated with trastuzumab for early breast cancer, monitoring of cardiac function is required before treatment, every three months during treatment and for up to two years after treatment has stopped. Trastuzumab in this indication is restricted to use by breast cancer specialists. Click here for SMC link Tayside recommendation Recommended within specialist treatment pathway HOSPITAL ONLY Points for consideration: Trastuzumab is a monoclonal antibody against the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 HER2 ; antigen which is expressed on tumour cells in about 25% of patients with early breast cancer and is associated with a poorer prognosis. Trastuzumab is also licensed, and recommended by SIGN and NICE, for use in advanced breast cancer in HER2 positive women. The evidence to support the use of trastuzumab in early breast cancer is based on an interim analysis of the Herceptin Adjuvant HERA ; study at median follow-up of one year. This analysis showed that trastuzumab, given following standard adjuvant chemotherapy, halved the relative risk of breast cancer recurrence compared to adjuvant chemotherapy alone, and corresponded to significantly increased disease-free survival, from 77.4% to 85.8%, at 2 years ie an absolute benefit of 8.4%. Overall survival was higher in the trastuzumab arm, but not significantly so at the time of the analysis. Sub-group analysis indicated that the relative benefit of trastuzumab appeared to be independent of patient age, nodal involvement, hormone receptor status or type of adjuvant chemotherapy used. Cardiotoxicity is the key safety concern with trastuzumab. In the HERA study, the incidence of symptomatic congestive heart failure was low due to the relatively young age of the population median age 49 years ; and strict cardiac exclusion criteria and monitoring. If this isn't applied in practice, use of trastuzumab may result in higher incidence of heart failure. Longer-term data on safety is essential to determine the cumulative risk of cardiac side-effects. The SPC recommends baseline cardiac assessment prior to the use of trastuzumab including history and physical examination, ECG, echocardiogram, and or MUGA scan. Cardiac function should be further monitored during treatment eg every 3 months. The cost of trastuzumab is around 22, 400 per patient per year course. There are also additional service costs associated with administration of a three-weekly infusion and cardiac monitoring. Locally, trastuzumab, for the treatment of women with HER2 positive early breast cancer, is recommended for use in accordance with Scottish Breast Cancer Network Guidance. The local breast cancer protocol will be updated shortly. Refer to SIGN 84 "Management of breast cancer in women" for further guidance on the treatment of breast cancer. 11. How will these yavanas be delivered? To My great unhappiness, I do not see any way." PURPORT This verse reveals the significance of Lord Sri Caitanya's appearance as patita- pavana, the deliverer of all the fallen souls. Srila Narottama dasa Thakura sings, patita-pavana-hetu tava avatara: "O my Lord, You have aopeared just to deliver all the fallen souls." mosama patita prabhu na paibe ara: "And among all the fallen souls, I the lowest." How Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu was always thinking about the deliverance of the fallen souls is shown by the statement e duhkha apara "It is My great unhappiness" ; . This statement indicates that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who is the Supreme personality of Godhead Krsna Himself, is always very unhappy to see the fallen souls in the material world. Therefore He Himself comes as He is, or He comes as a devotee in the form of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, to deliver love of Krsna directly to the fallen souls. Namo maha-vadanyaya krsna- prema-pradaya te. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is so merciful that He not only gives knowledge of Krsna but by His practical activities teaches everyone how to love Krsna krsna-prema-pradaya te ; . Those who are following in the footsteps of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu should take the Lord's mission most seriously. In this age of Kali, people are gradually becoming less than animals. Nevertheless, although they are eating the flesh of cows and are envious of brahminical culture, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is considering how to deliver them from this horrible condition of life. Thus He asks all Indians to take up His mission. bharata-bhumite haila manusya-janma yara janma sarthaka kari' kara para-upakara "One who has taken his birth as a human being in the land of India [Bharata-varsa] should make his life successful and work for the benefit of all other people." Cc. Adi-lila 9.41 ; it is therefore the duty of every advanced and cultured lndian to take this cause very seriously. All Indians should help the Krsna consciousness movement in its progress, to the best of their ability. Then they will be considered real followers of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Unfortunately, even some so-called Vaisnavas enviously refuse to cooperate with this movement but instead condemn it in so many ways. We are very sorry to say that these people try to find fault with us, being unnecessarily envious of our activities, although we are trying to the best of our ability to introduce the Krsna consciousness movement directly into the countries of the yavanas and mlecchas. Such yavanas and mlecchas are coming to us and becoming purified Vaisnavas who follow in the footsteps of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. One who identifies himself as a follower of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu should feel like Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who said, iha-sabara kon mate ha-ibe nistara: "How will all these yavanas be delivered?" Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was always anxious to deliver the fallen souls because their fallen condition gave Him great unhappiness. That is the platform on which one can propagate the mission of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. TEXT 52.

Infections and infestations: Respiratory infection. Laboratory findings In general, there were no clinically important influences of Atacnad on routine laboratory variables. As for other inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, small decreases in haemoglobin have been seen. Increases in creatinine, urea or potassium and decrease in sodium have been observed. Increases in SALAT S-GPT ; were reported as adverse events slightly more often with Atacand than with placebo 1.3% vs 0.5% ; . No routine monitoring of laboratory variables is usually necessary for patients receiving Atacand. However, in patients with renal impairment, periodic monitoring of serum potassium and creatinine levels is recommended. Treatment of Heart Failure The adverse experience profile of Atacand in heart failure patients was consistent with the pharmacology of the drug and the health status of the patients. In the CHARM clinical programme, comparing Atacand in doses up to 32 mg n 3, 803 ; to placebo n 3, 796 ; , 21.0% of the candesartan cilexetil group and 16.1% of the placebo group discontinued treatment because of adverse events. Adverse reactions commonly 1 100, 1 ; seen were: Vascular disorders: Hypotension Metabolism and nutrition disorders: Hyperkalaemia Renal and urinary disorders: Renal impairment.

It would appear from the chart above that the 50 mg once-daily dose of losartan is less effective than 16 mg of Candesartan, but not distinguishable from 8 mg of Candesartan. The currently approved Candesartan labeling for Dosage and Administration states: "Dosage must be individualized. Blood pressure response is dose related over the range of 2 to mg. The usual starting dose of ATACAND is 16 mg once-daily when it is used as monotherapy in patients who are not volume depleted. Atacand can be administerd once or twice daily with total daily doses ranging from 8 mg to 32 mg. Larger doses do not appear to have a greater effect, and there is relatively little experience with such doses. Most of the antihypertensive effect is present within 2 weeks, and maximal blood pressure reduction is generally obtained within 4 to 6 weeks of treatment with ATACAND." For losartan that section states: "The usual starting dose of COZAAR is 50 mg once-daily, with 25 mg used in patients with possible depletion of intravascular volume e.g. patients treated with diuretics ; see WARNINGS, hypotension-Volume Depleted Patients ; and patients with hepatic impairment see PRECAUTIONS, General ; . COZAAR can be administered once or twice daily with total daily doses ranging from 25 mg to 100 mg. If the antihypetensive effect measured at trough using once-a-day dosing is inadequate, a twice-a-day or an increase in dose may give a more satisfactory response and mevacor.

For predicting interactions in humans during the process of drug development and for clarifying the mechanism of interactions. Drug interactions may occur after administration by any route. All of these are included in the scope of this document. However, this document refers mainly to drug interactions that may occur after oral administration. In cases where drug interaction studies with drugs given by different routes of administration are needed, they should be conducted appropriately, by referring to the descriptions in this document. Drug interactions are classified, based on mechanism, into pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions. The former interaction is the phenomenon that is induced by changes in blood levels and tissue distribution of a drug or its active metabolites by the interaction of the drugs in the processes of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. For the prediction and evaluation of the clinical significance of a drug interaction, it is necessary to evaluate how much the process where the interaction was observed determines the pharmacokinetics of the drug. The latter interaction is the phenomenon that occurs when the effects of a drug are additive synergistic or antagonistic to the effects of a concomitant drug, or when a drug changes the tissue sensitivity reactivity to the investigational drug. In clinical practice, this phenomenon is occasionally used to the advantage of patients as a concomitant therapy. For the purpose of predicting pharmacodynamics-related drug interactions, a thorough understanding of the main pharmacologic effect that leads to a given therapeutic effect, any potential secondary pharmacologic effect that may lead to side effects, and toxicologic effects is necessary. If there is a possibility of concomitant use in patients in which a clinically inappropriate pharmacodynamic drug interaction may occur, interaction studies in animals should first be considered. There may be a case where both pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic drug interactions occur at the same time. A wide variety of pharmacological drug interactions are possible, and therefore it is difficult to provide standard methods in this document. It is necessary to address the pharmacodynamic interaction potential on a case-by-case basis, depending on the pharmacological properties of the given drug and its intended clinical usage. 1.3 Principles of drug interaction studies.

In patients with moderate hepatic impairment, consideration should be given to initiation of ATACAND at a lower dose see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Special Populations ; . For patients with possible depletion of intravascular volume eg, patients treated with diuretics, particularly those with impaired renal function ; , ATACAND should be initiated under close medical supervision and consideration should be given to administration of a lower dose see WARNINGS, Hypotension in Volume- and Salt-Depleted Patients ; . ATACAND may be administered with or without food. If blood pressure is not controlled by ATACAND alone, a diuretic may be added. ATACAND may be administered with other antihypertensive agents.

ALCON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS in millions, except share data ; 2003, the unvested portion which was contingent ; of the restricted common shares was excluded in the calculation of basic weighted average common shares outstanding. In connection with this conversion, these employees were also granted options to purchase approximately 0.9 million Alcon common shares at .00 per share the IPO price ; under the 2002 Alcon Incentive Plan. These restricted shares and options are scheduled to vest at various times through January 1, 2006. The options expire on March 20, 2012. In 2002, the board of directors adopted the Alcon Executive Deferred Compensation Plan "DCP" ; . The DCP permits certain executives of the Company to defer receipt of compensation and certain stock gains otherwise payable currently and to accumulate earnings thereon on a tax-deferred basis. The plan is designed to permit executives' deferral elections to be held and owned by the Company in a Rabbi trust. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, certain executives elected to defer .5 and .4, respectively, of compensation which is included in other long term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, 158, 306 and 87, 033 common shares, respectively, have been deferred into the DCP. These shares are reflected as outstanding and are included in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations at December 31, 2004 and 2003. 13 ; Financial Instruments Foreign Currency Risk Management A significant portion of the Company's cash flows is denominated in foreign currencies. Alcon relies on sustained cash flows generated from foreign sources to support its long term commitments to U.S. dollar-based research and development. To the extent the dollar value of cash flows is diminished as a result of a strengthening dollar, the Company's ability to fund research and other dollar-based strategic initiatives at a consistent level may be impaired. The Company has established balance sheet risk management programs to protect against volatility of future foreign currency cash flows and changes in fair value caused by volatility in foreign exchange rates. A primary objective of the balance sheet risk management program is to protect the U.S. dollar value of foreign currency denominated net monetary assets from the effects of volatility in foreign exchange that might occur prior to their conversion to U.S. dollars. The Company seeks to fully offset the effects of exchange on exposures denominated in developed country currencies, primarily the euro and Japanese yen, and will either partially offset or not offset at all exposures in developing countries where we consider the cost of derivative instruments to be uneconomic or when such instruments are unavailable at any cost. The Company will also minimize the effects of exchange on monetary assets and liabilities by managing operating activities and net asset positions at the local level. The Company primarily utilizes forward exchange contracts which enable it to buy and sell foreign currencies in the future at fixed exchange rates and offset the consequences of changes in foreign exchange on the amount of U.S. dollar cash flows derived from the net assets. Prior to conversion to U.S. dollars, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars are remeasured at spot rates in effect on the balance sheet date. The effect of changes in spot rates is reported in foreign exchange gains and losses in other income expense ; . Fair value forward contracts are marked to fair value through foreign exchange gains and losses in other income expense ; . Fair value changes in the forward contracts offset the changes in the value of the remeasured assets and liabilities attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, except to the extent of the spotforward differences at inception. These differences, included in other income expense ; , are not significant due to the short term nature of the contracts, which typically have average maturities at inception of less than one year. The fair values of forward exchange and option contracts are reported in other current assets and other current liabilities. The fair value hedge derivative instruments have settlement dates in early 2005 and cover an equivalent notional amount of 7.5, of which 9.2 was executed through Nestl. Interest Rate Risk Management The Company may use interest rate swap contracts on certain investing and borrowing transactions to manage its net exposure to interest rate changes and to reduce its overall cost of borrowing. The Company does not use leveraged swaps and does not leverage any of its investment activities that would put principal capital at risk. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, in connection with a long term bank loan, the Company had an interest rate swap fair value hedge outstanding in the notional amount of .1. The fair values of interest rate swap agreements are reported in other current assets and other current liabilities.
Anti-hypertensive agents that block angiotensin are the first option for many people with diabetes. Angiotensin is natural chemical that influences all aspects of blood pressure control and also interferes with insulin's normal metabolic signaling. In fact, angiotensin may be the common factor linking diabetes and high blood pressure. Drugs that block them are ACE inhibitors and ARBs: Angiotensin-converting enzyme ACE ; inhibitors are the standard agents for people with diabetes and hypertension. They include captopril Capoten ; , enalapril Vasotec ; , quinapril Accupril ; , benazepril Lotensin ; , ramipril Altace ; , perindopril Aceon ; , and lisinopril Prinivil, Zestril ; . These agents have remarkable benefits for people with diabetes, including reducing the risks of heart attack, stroke, and death. ACE inhibitors also delay the onset and progression of kidney disease. In many cases, however, combinations are required to achieve blood pressure goals. In such cases, low-dose diuretics or calcium-channel blockers are added as needed. Angiotensin-receptor blockers ARBs ; , also known as angiotensin II receptor antagonists, are newer drugs that are similar to ACE inhibitors in effectiveness. They may have fewer side effects. Brands include losartan Cozaar, Hyzaar ; , olmesartan Benicar ; candesartan Atacand ; , telmisartan Micardis ; , eprosartan Teveten ; , irbesartan Avapro ; , and valsartan Diovan ; . In one study, ARBs appeared to reduce the risk of developing diabetes. Other studies have also reported protection against kidney disease even in people with normal blood pressure, making them particularly beneficial for people with diabetes.
