Drug used to treat COVID-19 in short supply at Hamilton hospitals
COVID-19 due to low supply during the current wave of the pandemic.St Joseph’s Healthcare Dr. Zain Chagla says Tocilizumab — an anti-inflammatory medication — is one of few drugs physicians can give to people when they get moderately or critically ill with COVID-19 to protect them from getting ventilated or dying.Chagla says Hamilton’s hospitals have “been very strict” in recent times since supply shortages have led to limiting doses and turning to alternative medications.“We look at patients to see whether or not there is an expected survival just for the sake of making sure that we give the drug to people where we think it’s going to derive the most benefit,” Chagla told 900 CHML’s Good Morning Hamilton.“We’ve had to bring in alternative medications which have similar efficacy, which is good, but … are expensive and have more drug interactions associated.” Ontario science table recommends limiting use of COVID drug due to supply shortage Ontario’s COVID Science Advisory Table recommended rationing the drug as far back as April 2021 as supply shortages coincided with the third wave of infections that sent more patients into intensive care than the first two.The agency suggested use be restricted for critically- and moderately-ill patients and that a second doses  — usually considered after 24 hours — be scrapped.Dr.

Leachco Podster, Podster Plush, Bummzie, and the Podster Playtime Infant Loungers LOS ANGELES - The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to avoid certain infant loungers after the agency learned of two deaths from suffocation related to the products.The agency posted the warning on Thursday, reporting two infants who were using a Podster lounger and died."Due to a change in position, their noses and mouths were obstructed by the Podster or another object," the CPSC wrote.The deaths occurred in 2018 and 2015, the agency reported. The agency is urging consumers to be aware of Podster, Podster Plush, Bummzie and Podster Playtime (the "Podsters") infant loungers manufactured by Leachco, Inc.In response to the warnings, Leachco, Inc. said their products are not intended for sleep and argues the CPSC is "wrongly telling consumers to stop using the Podster altogether." "Leachco has always had clear warnings on the product and its packaging not to place it in a bed or crib or use it for unsupervised sleep," the company said in a statement. "Leachco stands by the Podster's quality, safety and value," the company added.Currently, the CPSC is not calling for a recall of the products but is urging parents to avoid using them for a baby’s nap time. Advertisement"Infant loungers like Podsters are not safe for sleep.
