Has anyone other than I seen or heard anything about this next targeted for fibro drug? Hope this wonder drug is better than the last 2 were. This was put on here by me in order that it may help you see that yet another new drug is triggered for fibro people.
[FONT="Times New Roman"]The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved
Savella™, a selective serotonin and norepinephrine dual reuptake inhibitor, for the management of fibromyalgia, a condition that can cause sleep disturbance. The drug was developed by Forest Laboratories Inc and Cypress Bioscience Inc.
"Fibromyalgia is a complicated chronic pain condition, so it is important that physicians and patients have access to treatments that have been shown to help manage the symptoms that define the experience of fibromyalgia," said a Professor of Anesthesiology and Medicine (Rheumatology) at the University of Michigan.
"The introduction of Savella is important because it is the first drug approved to treat the symptoms of fibromyalgia using a composite responder analysis."
The safety and efficacy of
Savella were established in two US pivotal phase 3clinical trials involving more than 2,000 patients with fibromyalgia.
Savella doses of 100 mg/day and 200 mg/day demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful concurrent improvements in pain, patient global assessment, and physical function.
Savella is expected to be available in pharmacies by March 2009.[/FONT
