From the desk of Jenny Lou

New drug: Vimpat (lacosamide) is an anticonvulsant. We have a pt on this right now.

New drug: Savella (milnacipran) is for fibromyagia. It inhibits NE and 5HT reuptake. A pt also came in on this.

This next bit of drug trivia comes from our esteemed colleague Nick:

Drugs that can cause osteoporosis:

1. corticosteroids
2. heparin
3. cancer drugs
4. phenytoin
