The FDA has added bemotrizinol to the OTC sunscreen monograph, marking the first new active ingredient since the late 1990s.
Bemotrizinol offers protection against both UVA and UVB radiation and has low systemic absorption when used topically.
The FDA considers bemotrizinol generally recognized as safe and effective for adults and children aged 6 months and older.
The ingredient can be used in OTC sunscreen products that comply with monograph requirements, but does not approve specific products.
Bemotrizinol was previously marketed in Europe and other countries before its authorization in the U.S. under a streamlined process.

Hospital admissions after emergency visits for dementia patients do not improve mortality rates.
The study analyzed 872,085 emergency department visits among Medicare beneficiaries aged 66 and older with dementia.
Hospital admissions increased health care spending by approximately $2,500 within 30 days and $4,000 within 90 days.
There was substantial variation in hospital admission practices among emergency physicians treating dementia patients.
The findings suggest that many hospital admissions for dementia patients may offer little value and warrant further research.

SGLT2 inhibitors are associated with a lower incidence of kidney cancer compared to DPP-4 inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes.
The study involved 57,103 users of SGLT2 inhibitors and 57,103 users of DPP-4 inhibitors, with a follow-up of approximately 3.5 years.
SGLT2 inhibitor users had a 40% lower hazard of kidney cancer, with an incidence rate of 18.9 cases per 100,000 person-years.
The findings suggest potential mechanisms for reduced kidney cancer risk, but these were not directly tested in the study.
Limitations include observational design, short follow-up, and lack of individual agent data, affecting generalizability and potential confounding.
