| Surf The Web And Save On Prescriptions
(AP) KEY LARGO, Fla. It's not often you save several hundred dollars on medicine by surfing the Web, but David Melvin did, CBS News correspondent Wyatt Andrews reports. "Tremendous savings," he says. Melvin was on the Consumer Reports' Best Buy Drugs site and saw that his cholesterol medicine, Pravachol, was three times more expensive than a plain generic, Lovastatin, a drug the Web site was calling its "best buy." "When I saw the difference in pricing and what I could save, an "oh my God' is right," Melvin says. He also saw that Nexium, the hugely popular prescription drug he was taking for acid reflux, was not the best buy it was Prilosec OTC, sold over the counter. His doctor agreed to the changes, and when Melvin added his savings last year, it was more than $600 on two drugs. "I can have the same kind of effectiveness for a heck of a lot less money," Melvin says.

Chinese anti-satellite missile doesn't perturb IAF
New Delhi, Feb 4 (IANS) China's successful firing of an anti-satellite missile does not perturb the Indian Air Force (IAF), which has suggested the creation of an Aerospace Command to better manage assets in outer space. 'They have conducted a test, but it is not an indication of their capabilities. Let us first study the capability they have acquired,' Air Marshal Homi Major, who has been named the new IAF chief, told reporters here Sunday on the sidelines of an international seminar on 'Aerospace Power in Tomorrow's World'. Major assumes office March 31 when Air Chief Marshal S.P. Tyagi retires. Asked about the problems he anticipated and his priorities in resolving these, Major said: 'I have no apprehensions about problems. There are only challenges to be faced.' One of these would be the creation of an Aerospace Command that Tyagi had mooted two years ago.
PARENT TO PARENT: Baby's night waking might have hidden medical cause
Q. I'm having trouble getting my 9-month-old to sleep through the night. She has always gone down for the night with no problem, until she turned about 8 months old. She is waking up every hour screaming. She is not hungry and does not have gas. I am at my wits' end. a mother in Fayetteville If your baby is crying all through the night, talk to your primary-care physician about a possible hidden medical problem. What's at the root of a baby's sudden change? Parents who have made it through similar, upsetting nights reported diverse causes: ear infections, urinary-tract infections, gastroesophageal reflux causing heartburn-like symptoms, milk allergies, teething and anemia. Be a sleuth. For example, when a child is too little to say "my ear hurts," caregivers have to look for signs of an ear infection, including trouble sleeping, crying more often and tugging at the ears.
