🎉 Special Anniversary Episode! 🎉
Don and Steve throw it back to 1985 —complete with mullets 🦱, mustaches 🥸, and popped collars 👔—to celebrate 40 years of the Pharmacist’s Letter!

🗂️ Join them as they dig into the archives and revisit some of the earliest (and wildest) claims ever published.

Did we correctly predict the fate of rofecoxib and propoxyphene?
Does topical benzoyl peroxide now cause cancer?
Can you tell how long Don and Steve have been practicing pharmacy?

🕶️ Get ready for a blast from the past as we dig up some retro rumors!

🔍 They’ll reexamine research and insights into some interesting claims from yesteryear including:

Whether topical minoxidil really works for hair regrowth (and why Steve looks like he joined the trial)
The Vioxx scandal and how it reshaped FDA safety rules
Why Darvocet disappeared from pharmacy shelves
The truth about benzoyl peroxide and cancer risk (spoiler: it’s still safe!)
How a drug from lizard spit became a blockbuster for weight loss.

This episode is packed with nostalgia, clinical pearls, and a few good laughs.
