Fasting for two days protects healthy cells against chemotherapy, according to a study appearing online the week of Mar. 31 in PNAS Early Edition. Mice given a high dose of chemotherapy after fasting continued to thrive. The same dose killed half the normally fed mice and caused lasting weight and energy loss in the survivors.

The chemotherapy worked as intended on cancer, extending the lifespan of mice injected with aggressive human tumors, reported a group led by Valter Longo of the University of Southern California.

Following the MHRA’s updated advice on the use of cough and cold medicines for young children, the NPA advocates taking advice from your local pharmacist on every aspect of your medicines - and at every age - to help ensure that you use them both safely and effectively.

Medicines that are available to buy are safe if used correctly but there are some risks if they are not. Your local pharmacist can offer you a free personalised consultation that is highly convenient and easily accessible - there is likely to be one near work or home and they are usually open 6 days a week and sometimes late in the evening.

Philip J. Schneider, M.S., FASHP, clinical professor and director of the Latiolais Leadership Program at The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy, has been named the recipient of ASHP’s 2008 Harvey A.K. Whitney Lecture Award.

Schneider’s current teaching and research are focused on improving the medication use process and improving medication use safety. He developed a nationally recognized program for the reporting and analysis of adverse drug events that led to improvements in the medication use process at the Ohio State University Medical Center. The severity scale developed as part of this program is widely used in the health care industry, including serving as the basis for the system used by the United States Pharmacopeia.
