Executives at drug company Actavis knew they had to move fast to avoid a plunge in sales of their top-selling drug, Namenda, a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease which would lose patent protection in July.
When that happened, generic knockoffs would flood the market and doctors and pharmacists could switch patients to the lower-cost equivalents.

At the St. Peter’s Church Senior Ministry in Merchantville, the group of 20 begin the day reciting prayers next to a portrait of Pope John Paul II.
It is not the profile of the 50ish young pope, standing and basking in the adulation of a huge throng. It is, instead, the pope struggling in old age in a public way, contributing to the image that later won him the accolade of \”Saint.\” He is an octogenerian, face bloated by medications, his eyes sunken into his face, offering a weary gesture from a waving hand. It is a visual reminder that wisdom and holiness is frequently nurtured toward the end of a long life.

Dear Editor:
That’s why I’m working with the American Heart Association on the NJ Healthy Corner Stores initiative which helps provide resources and education to bring better food choices to local stores—especially in areas where there aren’t many other shopping options like supermarkets.
Local stores serve as a main food source for our neighbors across the state—many of which are not equipped to provide healthy options like fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately, the boxed, processed foods which do fill the shelves are loaded with unhealthy ingredients that can lead to major health issues like high blood pressure, obesity and high cholesterol. These issues can directly lead to cardiovascular disease—our nation’s No. 1 leading cause of death.
With nearly one million New Jerseyans facing uncertainty over their next meal, it’s vital that we work together to make sure that everyone in the Garden State has access to healthy options including fruits and vegetables. After all, everyone deserves the opportunity to live healthy.
In good heart-health,
William Duncan
