E-drug: unidentified japenese drug
----------------------------------
Dear E-Druggers,
Can anyone help identifying a Japanese drug?
The letters on the blister are: CGR-2.
The patient is also on Nizatidine and Ecabet, a cytoprotective agent
used in the treatment of peptic ulcer.
Thanks for your help!....janet

1. As you may have noticed, moderation was swapped from Syed Ahmad to

2. A french version of E-drug will start soon under the working name of
E-med. Anyone interested to join or help please contact Carinne Bruneton

3. Andrew Herxheimer, E-drug subscriber, offered us the following poem.
Although poetry is not our objective, we would like you to see it.
Any comments please directly to Andrew.
Hearing about a difficult recent meeting on Defined Daily Doses
at WHO in Geneva suggested this verse. A brief factual account of
the meeting might interest e-druggers and pharmacoepicologists..
- DDD day in Geneva -
The divagations
of pharmaceutical conversations
in technical consultations
between representative nations
lead to frustrations, expostulations
And few benefits for patients.
[note: divagation is a rare old word that means digression, wandering]
