Gemäss einem Text im britischen "Drugs and Therapeutics Bulletin" wurden Tränen-Ersatzpräparate bisher noch kaum kritisch miteinander verglichen. Es ist deshalb gerechtfertigt, sich bei der Auswahl nach dem Preis, der Alltagstauglichkeit und dem Vorhandensein (bzw. Fehlen) von Konservierungsmitteln zu orientieren.

The Future

Preparations from Cannabis sativa, the hemp plant, were omitted from the B.P. in 1932, and from the B.P.C. in 1949. Today, they are scarcely used in medical practice, though manufacture of a tincture of cannabis is still licenced (and one or two practitioners are known to prescribe it from time to time for psychiatric or psychosomatic disorders1). Cannabis and preparations derived from it are controlled by the Dangerous Drugs Act, yet they are more widely and increasingly used in this country and in America than any other illicit drug. But this is not the only reason for discussing their effects in the Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin: the future use of some synthetic analogues and derivatives seems probable as analgesics, antidepressants and antihypertensives.2

Tests on disposable and re-usable needles part I - disposable needles

Protective Packaging

The Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin carried out a series of tests on all brands of disposable needles available in October, 1963 (see Table I). Our tests were intended to assess and compare the different brands for sharpness, strength, non-leaking mount, and protective packaging, which are the most important requirements. In our next issue we shall report the results of similar tests on re-usable needles and shall compare the two types. Most tests were based on the British Standards (BS) 3522:1962 ‘Specification for Hypodermic Mounted Needles (Luer Fitting)’1. We tested at least 125 samples of each brand, which we bought anonymously. We tested Size No. 12 if we could get it, and, if not, the nearest size we could - No. 2 or No. 15.

We are pleased to be able to announce a new service for our subscribers. With this issue, and every two months in future, they will receive the Adverse Drug Reaction Bulletin without extra charge. The ADRB has been published by the Newcastle Regional Hospital Board since 1966, but its circulation has until now been largely confined to the Newcastle Region. We believe that it deserves to be read much more widely and will be of particular value to readers of the Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, to which it is complementary. The ADRB will retain its editorial independence, but we have arranged to print it and to distribute it for its publishers outside their region.

Drug therapy in anxiety, depression and other neurotic illnesses

Anxiety Depression

Several articles in the first two volumes of the Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin have been about drugs promoted for use in anxiety, depression and other illnesses of neurotic origin. There are no signs of any impending ‘breakthrough’ in the treatment of mental illness with drugs, nor is there any lessening of the tide of drugs promoted by manufacturers for this purpose: so the time seems opportune to comment on some principles of drug therapy in this field.

Clinical trials are essential to identify the best treatments for patients. Two years ago the Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin hosted a seminar on the implications of the current practice of therapeutic trials. Over 50 clinicians, medical scientists, statisticians and social scientists contributed. The discussions were chaired by Sir Douglas Black, Sir Richard Doll and Dr Peter Greenfield and now form the basis of a 24-page report published by the Consumers’ Association and available free on request*.
