A daily pill for diabetes and weight loss hits UK pharmacies, offering an alternative to injections. Meanwhile, Sir Chris Hoy pushes for systematic prostate cancer screening, and a rare cancer diagnosis for a punk rocker brings the financial strain of treatment into focus.
Two stories today highlight access to care: one about a new drug option, the other about who gets screened.
Foundayo, a daily GLP-1 pill for diabetes and weight loss, is now available on private prescription in UK pharmacies. Pharmacists are warning about counterfeit versions of the drug, which is an alternative for people who can't use injections.
Sir Chris Hoy, diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer at 47, argues that screening should be systematic rather than reliant on celebrity awareness campaigns. He notes 10,000 UK men are diagnosed too late each year.
A musician's rare cancer diagnosis underscores how expensive treatment can be when surgery isn't an option.
Richard Lloyd, guitarist for the band Television, has been diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, a rare bile-duct cancer. His bandmate started a GoFundMe because tumors near a major blood vessel make surgery impossible, and Lloyd has already survived two sepsis episodes.
Two public health alerts: a multi-state food poisoning outbreak and a rise in respiratory illnesses ahead of school reopenings.
Alfalfa sprouts from Everything Sprouts are linked to a food-poisoning outbreak across 15 states, with dozens of cases reported. The CDC is investigating the multi-germ outbreak.
Barbados is warning parents to keep sick kids home as schools reopen, citing a rise in respiratory illnesses including COVID-19 and influenza.
