EDISON, N.J. — Certain Dri antiperspirant has raised the bar on perspiration control with the introduction of a thicker, drip-free formulation — Certain Dri Clinical Strength Anti-Perspirant Roll-On.

Combined with a new logo and updated packaging, the new formulation will continue to offer the same 72-hours of sweat protection. This has been the brand’s core benefit in helping the millions of adults and teens who suffer from axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm perspiration), or, who believe their perspiration is a problem.

Where is pharmacy technology headed, and how will it be put to use by pharmacists and the companies that employ them?

PLANO, TX — Doritos, a brand from PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division, announced an addition to its Dinamita rolled tortilla chip line. The new Doritos Dinamita Fiery Habanero chips feature spicy habanero peppers and hints of chili and red peppers, all in a rolled tortilla chip.

To put it in Facebook terms, the pharmaceutical industry by and large has yet to friend American consumers.

A new report from the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics concludes that fewer than half of the top 50 global pharmaceutical manufacturers “have some level of healthcare social media engagement.” This, despite the fact that “increasingly, patients are turning to social media as an essential forum for obtaining and sharing information related to their health,” noted Murray Aitken, the institute’s executive director.
