New bipolar treatment 'as effective as olanzapine'

From Healthcare Republic:

A new atypical antipsychotic is an effective long-term treatment for patients with bipolar mania, according to recently released data.

The findings of an extension study presented at the 18th European Congress of Psychiatry in Munich on 28 February suggest that asenapine has comparable efficacy and tolerability to olanzapine (Zyprexa).

Asenapine is currently awaiting European approval for the treatment of schizophrenia and manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder. It has antagonist activity at a range of serotonin, alpha-adrenergic, dopamine and histamine receptors.

Schering-Plough (now Merck) applied in May 2009 for European approval to market asenapine, under the trade name Sycrest. The drug is already available in the US as Saphris.

Bipolar disorders are one of several medical conditions called depressive disorders. Depressive disorders affect the way a person's brain functions. The condition has a high rate of recurrence and if untreated, it has an approximately 15% risk of death by suicide.

You raise a lot of questions in my head; you wrote a good post, but this post is also thought provoking, and I will have to ponder it some more; I will be back soon. It's not quite a "do it yourself" solution, but it's probably the most practical way to hone whatever talent you do have while not having to quit your day job.

Great website...and cool article man...thanx for the great post...keep on posting such article... Did you ever realize that of all the calls made to appliance repair service shops, the need for a large number could be obviated if people would just use a little common sense in the way they used their appliances and other labor saving devices? All of us learn to use our appliances, our washing machines, dryers and dishwashers growing up watching our parents use their first machines.
