PHYSICIANS
NEW
ROCHELLE, NY -- September 9, 2002 -- The Medical Letter®
today announced the launch of a new monthly newsletter, Treatment
Guidelines from The Medical Letter, which provides health care
professionals with an unbiased and comprehensive source of prescribing
recommendations. For more than 40 years, The Medical Letter has
been providing the medical community with reliable, impartial and
thorough drug evaluations. The new publication provides recommendations
for first-choice and alternative drug therapies for treatment of
common medical problems such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes,
hypertension, hyperlipidemia, heart failure, and depression and
anxiety, as well as fungal, bacterial and viral infections. Each
review includes comparative assessments of drug efficacy, safety
and cost. In addition, Treatment Guidelines supplies charts
and tables for easy reference.
"Given
the dynamic pharmacopoeia that clinicians are confronted with today,
there is a tremendous need for thorough reviews of the drug management
of different diseases," said Gianna Zuccotti, M.D., M.P.H.,
Deputy Editor at The Medical Letter. "Review articles that
have appeared periodically in our flagship publication, The Medical
Letter on Drugs and Therapeutics, have proven to be extremely
popular and useful to our subscribers. Our new publication, Treatment
Guidelines from The Medical Letter, was developed as a means
to provide health care professionals with additional comprehensive
reviews that critically evaluate the variety of drug treatment options
available for a given disease."
