Rolling the dice naturally

Article Abstract:

Steve Chang, pharmacist and co-owner of Essential Elements, says that his company has a good chance of competing with large drugstore chains such as CVS, Rite Aid and Eckerd. The company, which he and Jeff Reses established in Northfield, NJ, in Dec 1997, is a combination of a natural food store and a pharmacy. The natural food store, which carries vitamins, herbs, homeopathic and a variety of natural foods, is located at the front end of the establishment, while the pharmacy is at the rear.

Avelox touted to beat bacteria

Article Abstract:

Bayer AG is highly optimistic about the future prospects of its new antibiotic to treat several respiratory tract infections. The generic name of the drug, called Avelox, is moxifloxacin. Its range of use is quite promising and early clinical evidence suggests that it will be less prone to bacterial resistance than other similar antibiotics. Bayer expects the drug to be approved by regulators in Germany in Apr 1999 and in the US later in the year.
