Does your wife ever feel that your strap-on is cold?

Maybe you varm it up in a glass of water?

My fiancé sometimes wants me to use the strap while caged, but can feel the difference in warmth.

/Per

I take a tall thermos mug, and fill it with hot tap water. Then I put the Vixskin into the hot water for a good ten to tee ty minutes before we use it.

Many women do not care for dildos because they are much cder than body temperature. Pre-warming gives it a more natural feeling.

Instead of a thermos mug you could wrap it in a heating pad.

Also, sunscreen can and does expire! There's usually an expiration date listed, but if there's no expiration date listed, the FDA suggests that it's safe to use for up to 3 years after purchase.

The ingredients in sunscreen that provide UV protection degrade over time and become less effective, so expired sunscreen won't provide the same protection as non-expired sunscreen. If it's all you've got then use it, but take it as an opportunity to buy new sunscreen you actually like!

If you have sensitive skin or are prone to breakouts, there are sunscreens that are lighter but still protective. Japanese and Korean face sunscreens like Biore Watery Essence can be particularly good for this, but you can also look for sunscreen labeled "dry touch." Another great option is a moisturizer with SPF, so that you get the benefits of sun protection and moisturizing.

SPF (Sun Protection Factor)

You might wonder why SPF above 50 isn't necessarily better-- what about those sunscreens marketed as SPF 70 or 100? Well, SPF measures protection from sunburn from the sun's rays (hence the name, Sun Protection Factor)-- in particular, a sunscreen label of SPF 15 means that it takes 15 times more solar energy to produce a sunburn compared to unprotected skin.

However, this doesn't directly mean that you can stay in the sun for 15 times longer than you would without sunscreen, because the amount of solar energy you get depends on the time of day and your geographic location. For example, you get the same amount of solar energy from

1 hour in the sun at 9 AM

15 minutes at 1 PM

So it's not a direct multiplier on time. But higher SPF should still protect you for longer, right? That would be true, but sunscreen becomes less effective after about 2 hours in the sun, so for most people your SPF 50 sunscreen will protect you from sunburn for the full two hours just as well as a higher SPF would.

As per the FDA, any sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher labeled "broad spectrum" will protect you from skin cancer-- higher SPFs provide greater protection from sunburn.

Folks who like to get their information in quiz form can also check out the sun protection quiz here (https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cder/sunscreen/index.html).

Hello everybody with summer fast approaching here is your regular reminder that:

Everyone needs to wear sunscreen

SPF 50 is pretty much the best protection you can get, an SPF higher than that will have the same effect

Melanin does not protect you from skin cancer

Tanning is caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation

Spending the majority of your life receiving regular large doses of UV radiation without any skin protection is a good way to get skin cancer

Don't use tanning beds, and don't go sun tanning

Wear your fucking sunscreen

FDA Proposes Ending Use of Oral Phenylephrine as OTC Monograph Nasal Decongestant Active Ingredient After Extensive Review

— November 07, 2024 | FDA Press Release

A bottle of Vicks DayQuil cold and flu medicine containing phenylephrine is displayed for sale in a CVS Pharmacy store in Hawthorne, California, on Sept. 12, 2023. Patrick T. Fallon | AFP | Getty Images

Key Points:

The Food and Drug Administration proposed ending the use of a common ingredient in many popular over-the-counter cold and allergy medications because it doesn't actually relieve nasal congestion.

The FDA said the proposed order is not final yet, which means companies can still market over-the-counter drugs containing oral phenylephrine for now.

A final order will force pharmacies to clear shelves of hundreds of products containing oral forms of the ingredient, which is found in versions of drugs such as NyQuil, Benadryl, Sudafed and Mucinex.

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced it is proposing to remove oral phenylephrine as an active ingredient that can be used in over-the-counter (OTC) monograph drug products for the temporary relief of nasal congestion after an agency review of the available data determined that oral phenylephrine is not effective for this use. For now, companies may continue to market OTC monograph drug products containing oral phenylephrine as a nasal decongestant. This is a proposed order. Only a final order will affect what products can be marketed. The proposed order is based on effectiveness concerns, not on safety concerns.

Currently, oral phenylephrine is widely used as a nasal decongestant active ingredient in many OTC monograph drug products. It is important to note that some products only contain oral phenylephrine as a single, active ingredient. Others contain oral phenylephrine and another active ingredient (e.g., acetaminophen or dextromethorphan), and the presence of oral phenylephrine in these medicines does not affect how other active ingredients work to treat the symptoms for which they are intended.

“It is the FDA’s role to ensure that drugs are safe and effective,” said Patrizia Cavazzoni, M.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). “Based on our review of available data, and consistent with the advice of the advisory committee, we are taking this next step in the process to propose removing oral phenylephrine because it is not effective as a nasal decongestant.”

The agency conducted a comprehensive review of all available data on the safety and efficacy of oral phenylephrine, including the historical data that were used to support the determination made 30 years ago that oral phenylephrine was effective as a nasal decongestant, as well as newer clinical data on oral phenylephrine that have since become available.

Last fall, the FDA also held a Nonprescription Drug Advisory Committee meeting to discuss the ‘Generally Recognized as Safe and Effective’ (GRASE) status of oral phenylephrine as a nasal decongestant. The committee discussed new data on the effectiveness of orally administered phenylephrine and unanimously concluded that the current scientific data do not support that the recommended dosage in the OTC cold, cough, allergy, bronchodilator and antiasthmatic drug products monograph for orally administered phenylephrine’s effectiveness as a nasal decongestant.

“Consumers should know that a range of safe and effective drugs and other treatments is available to temporarily relieve congestion symptoms due to allergies or a common cold,” said Theresa Michele, M.D., director of the Office of Nonprescription Drug Products in CDER. “Consumers can also talk to their doctor or pharmacist about ways to treat these symptoms.”

Because a variety of different drug products may be sold under the same brand name, consumers should always read the Drug Facts label to determine which ingredients are in a medication, and to be aware of important warnings and directions for use. Phenylephrine is also an ingredient in nasal sprays to treat congestion. The FDA’s action is only related to orally administered phenylephrine and not the nasal spray form.

The FDA is seeking public comments on this proposed order. Instructions on how to submit comments are found in the proposed order available on OTC Monographs@FDA. If, after considering the comments, the FDA concludes oral phenylephrine is not effective as a nasal decongestant, the FDA will issue a final order removing oral phenylephrine from the OTC monograph, and drug products thereafter could no longer contain oral phenylephrine as a nasal decongestant. The FDA would provide manufacturers with appropriate time to either reformulate drugs containing oral phenylephrine or remove such drugs from the market.

Sudafed and other common nasal decongestants containing pseudoephedrine are on display behind the counter at Hospital Discount Pharmacy in Edmond, Okla., Jan. 11, 2005. On Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2023 advisers to the Food and Drug Administration said that a different ingredient, phenylephrine, is ineffective at relieving nasal congestion. Drugmakers reformulated their products with phenylephrine after a 2006 law required pseudoephedrine-containing medications be sold from the behind pharmacy counter. (AP Photo, File)

— The FDA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, protects the public health by assuring the safety, effectiveness, and security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological products for human use, and medical devices. The agency also is responsible for the safety and security of our nation’s food supply, cosmetics, dietary supplements, radiation-emitting electronic products, and for regulating tobacco products.

Understanding the Regulatory Framework of FDA for Drug Approval

FDA Drug Approval, FDA drug approval process, FDA regulatory compliance, FDA drug approval process timelineThe Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the US is the key regulatory body responsible for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of medications sold in the US. It defines approval for any product intended to alter the body’s structure or function and used for disease diagnosis, mitigation, treatment, or prevention as a medication.

Before a medicine is commercialized, the FDA must first approve it. In this process, the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) plays a crucial role in ensuring that pharmaceuticals, both name brand and generic, function as intended and that the benefits to health outweigh any known risks.

The whole FDA drug approval process timeline, from comprehensive research development to final approval process, last from 12 to 15 years. For this, an independent group of physicians and scientists, who are experts in their respective fields, rigorously assesses each medication’s safety, effectiveness, and labeling under thorough examination. Their expertise and dedication ensure that only safe and effective medications are approved for public use.

Ensuring Safety within the FDA Drug Approval Process

A pharmaceutical business must fulfill the following five-step process in order to receive FDA clearance to commercialize a new prescription drug: FDA review, preclinical research, clinical research, post-market safety monitoring, and discovery/concept. To ensure the drug is safe and effective, the manufacturer must conduct a test in a lab before moving on to humans.

Before human trials, manufacturers must conduct preclinical research, synthesizing and screening drug candidates for toxicity in animals. An Investigational New Drug (IND) Application is then submitted, detailing the drug’s chemistry, production, and human testing schedule.

Human trials can only begin once the IND Application is approved by the FDA and the local institutional review board (IRB). Remarkably, only one in 1,000 laboratory-tested chemicals reaches human testing. The investigational medication will proceed through multiple stages of clinical trials and post-marketing approval if the FDA approves it and undergoes the following phases:

Phase 1: It primarily focuses on establishing a drug’s safety, and it involves about 20 to 80 healthy volunteers. In addition to safety, the drug’s metabolism and excretion are also reviewed and highlighted.

Phase 2: Phase 2 concentrates on the medication’s efficacy and also reviews side effects and safety in patients with a particular condition or disease, between 100-300 patient volunteers. This stage lasts for roughly two years.

Phase 3: If Phase 2 results indicate that the medication is effective, Phase 3 studies can start. In clinics and hospitals, several hundred to three thousand patients are usually monitored to closely assess effectiveness and detect additional side effects. This stage lasts, on average, three years. Fewer study participants may be found in very rare diseases. Patients of various kinds and ages are assessed. The manufacturer may consider experimenting with various dosages and the experimental medication in conjunction with other therapies.

Phase 4: The studies in phase 4 collect more data regarding a product’s effectiveness, safety, or best use following approval. Post-marketing research may involve patient groups using the medication in real-world situations. These investigations might reveal new applications, long-term efficacy, and previously unrecognized adverse effects.

Once a drug is approved in Phase 4, a post-marketing review takes place to ensure that the new medicine remains safe for public use. Pediatric studies or special safety studies may be completed during this time frame.

FDA Regulatory Compliance: Building Trust in Every Dose

FDA regulatory compliance in the pharmaceutical industry has evolved into an intricate and diverse matter. Pharmaceutical companies are subject to a plethora of regulations and standards enforced by the Food Drug Administration (FDA) in their efforts to guarantee the safety, effectiveness, and moral development of pharmaceutical products.

Amendments to FDA regulations have a major impact on the total expense of medication development. This includes the possible financial burdens and reputational concerns resulting from non-compliance, in addition to the direct costs related to meeting strict standards at various stages. Furthermore, there may be significant delays in medication development due to the complexity of integrating FDA regulatory compliance changes.

For instance, a major advancement in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, for which there has been little therapeutic success in recent decades, was made possible by a multinational biotechnology company’s Alzheimer’s medicine. Complicacies and inconsistencies along the drug’s approval journey attracted the attention of many parties.

Two significant Phase III clinical trials were carried out to assess the effectiveness of the medication. The primary endpoint of the second experiment was not met, despite the first trial demonstrating a decrease in cognitive decline. Divergent trial results placed the company under regulatory scrutiny, which led to lengthy negotiations with regulatory authorities and highlighted the difficulties in evaluating novel therapy methods in illnesses like Alzheimer’s disease, where it can be difficult to identify endpoints.

The trial data’s intricacies and the ensuing talks with the FDA resulted in delays in the drug approval process, which had an impact on when the product may potentially enter the market. In addition, the company’s stock price had considerable fluctuations during this time, which was indicative of the strain on finances and the unpredictability of the regulatory procedure during FDA approval for drugs.

Eventually, the medication was added to the FDA drug approval list in June 2021 under the accelerated FDA drug approval process.

Key Differences between NMPA and FDA Drug Approval Process

The US FDA and the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China (formerly known as the China Food and Drug Administration, CFDA) are both critical regulatory agencies responsible for the oversight of drugs, medical devices, and other health products in their respective countries.

Thus, both the FDA regulatory compliance and NMPA play crucial roles in ensuring the safety, efficacy, and quality of drugs, medical devices, and other health products. While there are similarities in their regulatory frameworks and processes, there are also distinct differences shaped by regional legal requirements, market dynamics, and historical contexts.

Prioritizing Drug Safety: Closing Thoughts on FDA Approval Process

FDA approval for drugs is seen as a mark of credibility and trust. Patients and healthcare providers rely on its rigorous review process to ensure that drugs are safe and effective. This further boosts consumer confidence, as people are more likely to trust and use medications that have undergone stringent testing and review by a reputable regulatory body.

Thus, FDA drug approval is essential for entering the US market, which is one of the largest and most lucrative pharmaceutical markets in the world. Many insurance companies and government healthcare programs require FDA approval for drugs for reimbursement. Without the FDA drug approval, patients may encounter out-of-pocket expenses, limiting the drug’s market potential. Evidently, the FDA drug approval is recognized by regulatory bodies across the world and thus facilitates smooth approval in other countries thereby enhancing the global marketability of the drug.

Understanding the Drug Development and Approval Process

Introduction

The United States boasts one of the world's most robust pharmaceutical systems, ensuring access to safe and advanced medications for its consumers. At the forefront of safeguarding public health is the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). CDER plays a pivotal role in evaluating new drugs before they hit the market, ensuring their safety and effectiveness.

Developing New Drugs

Before a drug can be marketed in the U.S., it undergoes rigorous testing and evaluation. The drug company or sponsor first conducts laboratory and animal tests to understand its mechanisms and potential safety concerns. Subsequently, clinical trials involving human participants assess the drug's safety and efficacy in treating specific diseases and conditions.

Once these trials yield promising results, the drug company submits comprehensive data to CDER for review. A team of multidisciplinary experts evaluates the data, including physicians, statisticians, chemists, and pharmacologists. If the review confirms that the drug's benefits outweigh its risks, it receives approval for sale in the U.S.

FDA Approval: What it Signifies

FDA approval signifies that the drug's effects have been thoroughly assessed by CDER, concluding that its benefits justify its known and potential risks for the intended patient population. The approval process follows a structured framework, encompassing several key elements:

Analysis of the Target Condition and Available Treatments: FDA reviewers analyze the disease or condition the drug aims to treat, considering existing treatment options. This analysis provides the context for assessing the drug's risks and benefits.

Evaluation of Clinical Data: CDER evaluates clinical data submitted by the drug manufacturer, assessing the drug's benefits and risks. The agency expects robust evidence from well-designed clinical trials, ensuring that any observed benefits outweigh potential risks.

Risk Management Strategies: All drugs come with risks, which need to be managed effectively. FDA-approved drug labels provide essential information on the drug's benefits, risks, and how to mitigate them. In some cases, additional risk management strategies, such as Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS), may be required.

Accelerated Approval

In certain circumstances, FDA may expedite the approval of drugs that address serious or life-threatening conditions. Accelerated Approval allows for the approval of drugs based on surrogate endpoints or preliminary clinical evidence, provided they offer significant therapeutic benefits. However, post-marketing clinical trials are mandated to confirm the drug's clinical benefits. This pathway has facilitated the timely approval of many life-saving drugs, notably in the treatment of HIV/AIDS and certain cancers.

Drug Development Designations

FDA employs various designations to incentivize the development of drugs targeting unmet medical needs or offering significant advancements over existing therapies. These designations include:

Fast Track: Facilitates the development and review of drugs for serious conditions with unmet medical needs, expediting their path to market based on promising preclinical or clinical data.

Breakthrough Therapy: Expedites the development and review of drugs showing substantial improvement over existing therapies for serious conditions, based on preliminary clinical evidence.

Priority Review: Accelerates the review process for drugs offering significant advances in treating, diagnosing, or preventing serious conditions.

Conclusion

The drug development and approval process in the U.S. is a rigorous yet essential mechanism for ensuring the safety and efficacy of pharmaceuticals. Through thorough evaluation and regulatory oversight, FDA plays a pivotal role in safeguarding public health while facilitating timely access to innovative therapies for patients in need.
