The FDA Advisry board meets to review Qnexa on Thursday, July 15, with a targetted approval date in October.

Metformin Coupons Available From Several Sources
Metformin is a prescription drug that is used to treat Type 2 diabetes. It is the only antidiabetic drug that has been conclusively shown
to prevent the cardiovascular complications of diabetes. It helps
reduce LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and is not associated with weight gain.
Because it specifically addresses insulin resistance, it is also useful in treating polycystic ovary disease. Metformin is marketed by several manufacturers, under the brand names Fortamet,Glucophage, Glucophage XR,Glumetza,and Riomet. While your doctor should prescribe the brand that works best for you, having several manufacturers means that they all all offering incentives to use their brand. While printable prescription drug coupons are usually tough to find, this is not the case for metformin. Each of the manufacturers offers deals and discounts that can save you money.
Pharmacy Drug Guide has assembled all the offers in one place on their Metformin Coupons page.

Unemployment Extended benefits Expire April 5 Without Senate Vote
The Senate will be voting on yet another short term extension of
unemployment benefits this week. The vote has been delayed because
voting on healthcare reconciliation amendments is taking place first.
Majority Leader Harry Reid is looking for unanimous consent to pass
the bill even though this will give controversial Senator Jim Bunning
one more chance to block unemployment extension efforts. If the
extension doesn't pass, there won't be enough time to resolve the
issues and disagreements before the coming Senate recess. This would
cause the extension to expire in its current state on April 5th. http://www.mahalo.com/unemployment-extension
