I was given vioxx years ago, read the warnings about heart attacks and such, and threw them all in the trash! Not much later it was pulled from the market. If I lost a loved one, $$ isn't going to bring the back anyway, it's all stupid. If I do myself in, I guess I will come back and haunt the manufacturers....BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...........
Vioxx was withdrawn from the market in 2004 due to heart/stroke issues. I doubt you can even get it, but if for some reason it id given to you, ask for something different.
I know a couple of other people who have gout with no rise in uric acid. So yes, it probably is best to just go ahead and get treated if your doctor agrees. I assume you've probably already been to the doctor by now. Hope it's cleared up. That pain can be brutal!
COX-2 inhibitors have been associated with some liver dysfunction, although not as commonly as other NSAIDs. Recently, Vioxx has been removed from the market due to heart-related problems. Celebrex and Bextra are currently being investigated for similar heart-related toxicities.
It is recommended that people with liver disease avoid using all NSAIDs.

There was no money exchanged or special consideration given to get Vioxx on the market. However, Vioxx is a good example of a study not digging deep enough into long term effects of a new drug. Vioxx was introduced in 1999 and was originally thought of as a treatment for polyps in the intestinal track.

They also have the potential to cause drug-induced liver disease. In fact, many NSAIDs have been withdrawn from the market due to their hepatotoxicity. All NSAIDs have the potential to cause liver injury. However, some NSAIDs are more hepatotoxic than others. NSAIDs presently on the market that have been frequently associated with liver injury are aspirin (ASA), diclofenac (Voltaren), and sulindac (Clinoril).
"Genentech withdrew its psoriasis drug Raptiva from the market yesterday, citing the risk of developing progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare, often fatal brain infection. The drug will be phased out by June 8 of this year, according to a statement by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)."

It is recommended that people with liver disease avoid using all NSAIDs. If NSAIDs are medically required for the treatment of another medical disorder, a reduced dose should be used for a limited period of time and only by people with stable liver disease.
VRUS) has received fast track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for PSI-7977 for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. PSI-7977 is an oral uridine nucleotide analog polymerase inhibitor of HCV. Pharmasset recently completed dosing in a 28 day Phase 2a trial to evaluate PSI-7977 in combination with Pegasys (pegylated interferon) plus Copegus (ribavirin) in treatment-naive patients chronically infected with HCV genotype 1.
It cursed me with a terrible headache the entire 11 months I was taking it, as well as SEVERE depression, and it also left me with migraine headaches and other neurological issues. Sooooo glad to hear it was pulled from the market; I was not aware of that. I seem to remember the makers of Accutane sending out some sort of "survey" after I was finished taking it, that asked about what kinds of symptoms I had from taking the medicine. Do you remember getting one?
I always use this sight. I found it just by surfing the web. I even have them email me when there are FDA warnings of certain drugs or when it's pulled from the market.
The normal range for BUN (at my hospital) is 8.0 - 24.0. Sounds like yours borderline high on the normal range. The foam in your urine, does it manifest with frequency? it can be an indication of high level of protein in your urine. I would suggest for you to drink more water but with your heart condition that might not be the best route. You should consult with your doctor again about your kidney just to be safe. Prolong proteinuria can be harmful for your kidney.
My understanding is the acutane was removed from the US market by the manufacturer in 2009 because of severe side effects. Dry eyes have been reported with acutane. In most cases it has cleared up after several months but I easily found reports of dry eyes that lasted for years. This is the link http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.
I had a DVT that went through my heart and into my lungs(PE).
A valve was damaged, also one chanber of my heart.
My problem is that I wasn't diagnosed as a "heart attack", but rather a "pulmonary embolism", and the lawyers representing me in my vioxx lawsuit say it has to be a heart attack, not a PE.
Isn't a heart attack part of a PE? Rather, did I suffer a heart attack as well as a pulmonary embolism?
As the others mentioned, Darvocet has been pulled from the market. I would be surprised if you could even fill at at any pharmacy! Aside from that, it is my understanding that it isn't all that effective of a pain medication anyway. I myself tried it for pain years ago and it did nothing more than what a tylenol would do. I personally would call your doctor and say you would like something else. There are other, much safer pain meds that you can still take while pregnant.
Hi Element,
Exubera would not likely give the delivery accuracy you need as a type 1, but since it has been pulled from the market this month due to lack of profitability, it does not matter.
Smoking, however, is another issue. Forget cancer. It is the reduction of blood flow nicotine causes, coupled with the microvascular disease you most likely are already developing that will start to affect first your eyes (retinopathy) then your nerves (neuropathy).
The earliest PML happened was at 8 months for a person using it for Crohns, before it was pulled from the market in 2005. The latest case was after 26 infusions in 2008.
I thought I will just start it & not worry about it until I get to that 8 month and decide then.
Well I'm at the 8 month and it's a pretty easy decision to make, I will continue Tysabri. When I started Tysabri I volunteered to be contacted about my opinion of Ty at 3,8 & 16 months.
I believe one of the vaccines was just pulled from the market as well. The following link is to an article that discusses some of the known cardiac complications from small pox vaccine.

I have seen questions raised about anthrax, but nothing as conclusive as the small pox vaccine.
You doctor will probably be starting you on some heart medications soon for your reduced heart function.
I hope this helps and hope you feel better soon.
I went to the pharmacy to pick up my Armour and was quite surprised to hear that there is a national shortage and that natural desicrated thyriod may be pulled off the market. I was only able to get 4 tabs. The last they had and they aren't aware of any other pharmacies that have any left. Over the years I've tried various forms of thyroid replacement and have suffered too many problems to count.
