DAY16 Business Reading What Is A Generic Drug? It is a drug manufactured and sold under its common or base chemical name. Are Generic Alternatives Available For All Prescriptions? Not all prescription medications have generic alternatives. It is only after a brand drugs patent has expired that a generic can be introduced to the market. Your Osco/Sav-on pharmacist will inform you if a generic is available for your prescription, and show you how much you can save. Why Should I Use A Generic Drug? The best reason is for the savings. Generic manufacturers do not have the research and development expense associated with bringing a new drug to market; so they are able to produce a generic drug at a substantially lower cost. How Much Can I Save? You can save as much as 50% and more over the brand drug. At Osco/Sav-on, we tell you how much you have saved right on your prescription receipt..43.

DAY17 Business Reading The various parts of a glacier move at different rates. Movement of a valley glacier is similar to the flow of a river in that velocities are greater in the center than near the edges. Ordinarily, flow is more rapid in the middle of a glacier than near its head or terminus. The majority of glaciers move only a few centimeters per day. But a vastly different behavior pattern, however, has been exhibited by glaciers in areas of Russia, Iceland, the Alaska Range, and certain other parts of the world. Such glaciers may, after a period of quiescence lasting 10 to 100 years, suddenly begin to move very rapidly as much as five meters per hour. This rapid flow, which continues for only a year or two, causes a sudden depletion of the upper portion of the glacier, which is accompanied by a swelling and advance of its lower part. Ice masses manifesting unusual characteristics of this sort are commonly called surging or galloping glaciers..45.

DAY19 Business Reading Cholesterol is a fat-like substance that is found in foods of animal origin. Vegetables do not contain cholesterol, but some have saturated fatswhich can turn into cholesterol. Cholesterol carried by high density lipoproteins(hdl) remains in the blood until it is eliminated through the colon. HDL is referred to asgood cholesterol. Low density lipoproteins(ldl) carry cholesterol which is deposited in body tissues. This is the bad cholesterolsince it can form fatty streaks in the linings of the arteries. When it accumulates in the arteries, it reduces the flow of blood to the heart and may cause a heart attack or stroke. A simple blood test can determine the cholesterol level in your blood. Ideally, your cholesterol level should be below 200. Levels of 200 to 239 are considered borderline, while levels above 240 are considered high.research has shown that if there is too much cholesterol in your blood, your chances of having a heart attack increase. But theres good news: Cholesterol can be reduced by a prudent diet, regular exercise, and the use of medication. And every time you lower your blood cholesterol level by 1%, you cut your risk of heart attack by 2%. The few basic changes in lifestyle that can make that happen are well worth the effort. If you smoke, quit. Follow a low-fat diet. Avoid foods fried in saturated fat oils. Choose fish or poultry instead of red meat. Remove skin and fat from chicken and other fowl. Snack on fruits and vegetables. Read product labels carefully, and opt for low or no fat products and those that contain no cholesterol. Exercise regularly. Be sure to consult your doctor before beginning an exercise program..49.

DAY20 Business Reading The flu: its been going around for centuries. Originally, the term the fluwas used to describe a single illness: influenza. Throughout history, epidemics of influenza have caused millions of deaths worldwide. Today, the fluis applied to a number of different viral infections that affect either the respiratory system or the stomach. And, while the modern flu bugstill causes a world of misery, it usually leads to no lasting harm if treated quickly and properly. Unfortunately, theres nothing you can do to speed your recovery from the flu. The virus simply has to run its course. There are, however, ways to control the discomfort. Chief among them: Get plenty of bed rest; Drink lots of fluids to prevent dehydration. Water and juices are best. Avoid coffee and alcohol. Since the flucaused by influenza is especially dangerous for elderly or high risk patients, they should be reimmunized each season. Vaccines are changed each year to combat the strain that is prevailing..52.
