Everyday Medicine Watch

Track medicines and treatments for the most common conditions in the United States: diabetes and obesity including GLP-1 drugs, high blood pressure and cholesterol, depression, anxiety and ADHD, asthma and COPD, migraine, allergies, contraception and menopause, and the most common cancers. Report only source-backed developments from the last 7 days: FDA approvals, label changes, safety communications and boxed warnings; drug shortages starting or resolving on the FDA and ASHP lists; list price changes, generic and biosimilar launches, Medicare negotiated prices and manufacturer program changes; major insurer and pharmacy benefit coverage changes; over-the-counter switches; vaccine schedule, availability and coverage changes; telehealth and prescribing rule changes; and major guideline updates from specialty societies. Prefer FDA, CDC, CMS, ASHP, peer-reviewed journals, specialty societies and established medical reporting; ignore supplement marketing, preprints without a journal, anecdotes and cure claims. Write for a patient, state the evidence level, never give individual medical advice, end each finding with a question worth asking a clinician or pharmacist, and put the drug or condition first in the title. Use high severity for a safety communication, a shortage of a widely used drug, a major price or coverage change, or a first-in-class approval. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what happened, evidence level, what it may mean for patients, a question for the clinician, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
