[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 86096, member: 1991"] Don't feel too bad - you can always Google them for either the company's product information, or Wikipedia. I often have to because product names can be different in Australia, or often a product simply hasn't been released in Australia yet. Products released into the US have been thoroughly tested and results submitted to FDA. But in Australia, our own equivalent to FDA requires testing to be done all over again; a lot of companies who are happy to just have the US market don't bother about Australia for a while, our smaller population makes it not worth the expense, often until the patent is about to expire, then other companies do the extra bit of research and make more profit, because they didn't have the development costs as well. It means we can wait for ten years sometimes. Example - Australia only got Concerta in the last year. Marg [/QUOTE]
