Alzheimer’s group
to be formed
A small group gathered on
Monday March 14 at Hope
Lutheran Church in Heppner to
hear Dr. Jeanne Berretta speak on
Alzheimer’s Disease. The group
included nurses and clergy in ad
dition to family members of per
sons with Alzheimer’s.
Dr. Berretta’s presentation in
cluded definition and diagnosis of
the disease, and a discussion of
the new drug tacrine, which has
proven useful in m ild-to-
moderate cases. She then gave
many useful suggestions for
caretakers dealing with practical
problems such as agitation, delu
sions, incontenence and insom
nia. Several ideas for local respite
care were also shared.
This was the first monthly
meeting of a support group for
fam ilies and friends o f
Alzheimer’s patients. Dr. Berret
ta noted that 40 to 55 percent of
caregivers suffer from depres
sion. Support groups offer a
“ safe” place to express
themselves to people who unders
tand their situation.
The group will meet on Thurs
day, April 14 at 7 p.m. at the lone
United Church of Christ. Anyone
with questions may call the
group’s organizer. Rev. Lea
Mathieu, 422-7530.

Rx Pain Reliever
Given OTC Status
In January the U.S. food and
Drug Administration (FDA) ap
proved a prescription patn reliever
as an over-the-counter (OTC)
product. The medicine, naproxen.
has been available on prescription
for many years under the trade
names Anaprox and Naprosyn.
The nonprescription version of
naproxen will be produced by
Syntex Laboratories and distrib
uted by Procter and Gamble under
the name Aleve. According to a
report in Pharmacy Today, this new
product will be available as a 200
mg tablet.
The FDA provided informa
tion about why the medicine had
not been approved earlier by its
advisory committee. Committee
.* members were concerned that con
sumers might take too much
naproxen, since this medicine takes
I effect rather slowly. Large amounts
of naproxen can cause heartburn
and upset stomach. The committee
also indicated that the medicine
could be misused if given to chil
dren. The FDA asked Syntex to
reduce the daily dose and add label
warnings.
Children under 12 should not
use naproxen except under the su
pervision of a physician. For per
sons 12 to 65, the maximum daily
dose is 3 tablets with 8 to 12 hours
between each dose. Those over 65
should take no more than 2 tablets
daily (one every 12 hours).

up for this trip are asked to please
call if there are any changes in
plans.
