Clinical Diabetes & Weight Loss Trials – How They Help You Saving Money:

Across the U.S and around the world, there are clinics doing drug and other free testing.  In most cases, they pay you to take their studies.  That’s right, they pay you.  As  an example, I go to a clinic to participate in a drug study for my COPD.  They provide me with medication and pay me for each visit.  It is a year long study and I get paid to participate and they provide my medication. that would cost me approx.  $145.00 per month (my medical co-pays).  Total saving to me of $1750.00, not including what they pay me.

Some studies are a short as 3 months and up to 2 or 3 years.  This is how new drugs get approval for sale in the particular country they are being tested.  Before any human is given these new drugs, they must have a complete physical examination and be tested to see if they qualify to take the test.  You need to have a specific disease to qualify.  In my case, I have COPD.  This is the second study, I have done and I have never had a problem.

In some of these test, patients are either given a medication or a placebo.  Although, some studies give one medication, that is currently being sold and the other is the new tested medication.  These are called “blind studies”.  I prefer going to a study that gives either Medication now on the market and the new tested medication.

The clinic that I go to has many studies for different diseases.  They are thorough and pass on any medication info to your present doctors, so your doctors are aware of any medication you are taking.  In my case, my cardiologist, my pulmonary and primary doctors have be notified that I am taking this test and what medications, I am receiving.
