Message from Azim
“It’s very easy to become overwhelmed with all the news and happenings in the pharmaceutical industry. This is why our clients receive a curated weekly newsletter informing them of the top 1-2 news stories that may be important to them. The newsletter reaches everyone from Chief Medical Officers, brokers, consultants, human resources, staff and clinical pharmacists. Learn more about how we support our clients.”

Understanding Medical Lingo and Jargon
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) causes parts of the intestine (bowel) to get red and swollen (inflammation). It’s a chronic condition, which means it lasts a long time or constantly comes and goes. There are two kinds of IBD: Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes chronic inflammation of the GI tract, which extends from your stomach all the way down to your anus.
Ulcerative Colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes chronic inflammation and ulcers in the superficial lining of the large intestine, also called the colon.
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes you to have low platelet levels.
Psoriatic arthritis is a type of arthritis linked with psoriasis, a chronic skin and nail disease.
