Application info for Pennsaid from British label info:

After washing the treatment site with soap and water and allowing it to dry, apply a total
of about 20 or 40 drops (approximately 0.5 or 1 ml) of Pennsaid® (1.5% w/w diclofenac
sodium) topical solution to a medium or large joint, respectively. To ensure that product
does not run off the treatment site, apply the solution in several aliquots of 5 or 10 drops
to the medium or large joint. Spread Pennsaid® evenly over the treatment area with a
hand or fingers with as little rubbing as possible. Repeat this procedure until the total
amount of Pennsaid® has been applied. Follow the same procedure 4 times a day.

To Jim (9067) and Mark (9069) thank you both. I've been long - a long time. And I'm still learning some thing new, just about everytime I log on here.
Odd isn't it - the closer we get to the big milestone, the slower everything seems to get?
And, the louder the Chicken Little' Band plays.
Jef - sorry to see ya stopped. Better get baking.
While we 're waiting, does anyone have any good stop loss stories? Fox.

Thailand Launches "World's Cheapest" AIDS Drug
Fri Mar 22,10:55 AM ET

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand plans to launch what it says is the world's cheapest anti-AIDS (news - web sites) drug cocktail next month, health officials said on Friday.


The first batch of 120,000 tablets of GPO-VIR, produced by the Government Pharmaceutical Organisation (GPO), will be made available at state hospitals and drugstores in April at a cost of 20 baht ($0.46) a tablet, the health ministry said in a statement.

"This is the cheapest anti-retroviral pill in the world, which will help them treat HIV (news - web sites)/AIDS patients more effectively since they won't need to take three pills at a time," GPO Director Thongchai Tavichachart told Reuters.

The drug is a combination of three anti-retroviral drugs--Stavudine 30-40 mg, Lamivudine 150 mg and Nevirapine 200 mg--that are usually prescribed separately to patients.

Around 30% of Thailand's 695,000 HIV/AIDS sufferers take anti-retroviral drugs regularly and the new single pill will cut their monthly medicine cost by half to 1,200 baht.

Thai AIDS patients normally pay about 2,400 baht a month for their doses of the three drugs, which were already produced locally. Thongchai said imported versions cost Thais about 10,000 baht a month.

After six months of initial production, the GPO plans to expand its monthly capacity to three million tablets a month, and six million tablets a month within a year.
