What are some interesting, new FDA-approved drugs to talk about? New meaning within the past 6 months or so.

The ones I can think of:
- Vimpat (lacosamide) for epilepsy
- Savella (milnacipran) for fibromyalgia
- Nucynta (tapentadol) for pain
- Nplate (whatever its generic name) for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
- Uloric (febuxostat) for gout

I am surprized that I could name five. I must not be that hopeless yet.

Nplate is pretty neat. I looked that up a bit on my hem/onc rotation. Patient ended up not needing it tho

Really, the last drug that made the public go "You can do THAT with a pill?!?!" was Viagra. I want to know when the next Viagra is coming out. The drug that makes the layman excited.

Eltrombopag (November 2008), romiplostim (August 2008).

I've heard rumors that on the FDA website that you can search for newly approved drugs...
