Patients with ovarian cancer and other deadly tumors will regain access to an important chemotherapy drug, Food and Drug Administration officials told Liz Szabo with USA TODAY in an exclusive interview Monday, February 21, 2012.
The drug, Doxil, has been in short supply since last June. There are no generic versions of the drug, which is also used to treat multiple myeloma and AIDS-related Kaposi’s sarcoma.
The agency says it will announce today that it has worked out a deal to temporarily import a replacement drug, called Lipodox, from an Indian company, says the FDA‘s Sandra Kweder. The FDA has previously inspected the company, Sun Pharma Global, which exports the drug to other companies. Doxil is one of 287 drugs that have been in short supply this year, says the University of Utah’s Drug Information Service. That’s up from 61 shortages in 2005, the FDA says.

Everyone at Spirited Art will make sure your comfortable. You get to have fun for a great cause and walk away with a cool painting that you can keep in remembrance of your contribution to fight ovarian cancer. These would also make great Christmas presents.

Spirited Art® is an optimistic, creative class for folks who want to learn the basics of acrylic painting in the company of great friends and good wine. In each class we will show you step-by-step how to create your own masterpiece that you can be proud of and take home at the end of the night. Don’t worry if you can’t even draw a stick person. We believe it’s easier to learn when you’re having fun; and if you know your letters, shapes and colors then you are prepared to learn how to paint!
