Avatar f tn What they discovered was that all NSAIDS increased the risk for heart attack and stroke with Vioxx being the worst. The FDA then mandated that the additions of heart attack and stroke be added to all NSAIDS patient information and warnings including Vioxx. The FDA published a Talk Paper and implemented labeling changes for the Vioxx based on the results of the Vigor study.

Avatar f tn I wish "fast track" really meant that but unfortunately with the FDA this is not the case. It still takes 5+ years for new drugs to make it to market. I think this "slow track" with FDA is because of the drugs like vioxx that they approved to soon which ended hurting people. Just wish they would stop tap dancing and approve the drugs like Telaprevir & Boceprevir that have proven to work and be safe. These new drugs have been thoroughly tested and can help people NOW !!!
390388 tn?1279636213 I hit the button to fast to post. On the FDA site they have a place where you can be notified of any recalls listed; "after the dog food recalls" I had put my email address in to be notified of any updated recalls and never got off the list. Its hard to believe all the things that get recalled and never brought to attention to the people. It's free for anyone to get on. Just thought I would pass it along.
Avatar f tn t know if they still are but earlier the website was having technical issues and it was saying that ANY lot number you put in was not part of the recall. I followed the link on the main recall page that gives you a pdf of ALL lot numbers that are part of it just to be safe because we use Similac too. The can I've been using isn't listed but I'm still scared to use it.
Avatar n tn [2] A series of small-scale studies completed in Germany found that H. procumbens was indistinguishable from Vioxx in the treatment of chronic low back pain,[3] and was well-tolerated after more than four years of treatment of H. procumbens alone.[4] H. procumbens also seems efficacious in the treatment of arthritis-caused hip and knee pain.

Avatar f tn t improved at all in the 6 months he has been seeing me, HOWEVER I am able to control my diplopia about 95% of the time. Currently I will be seen every 3 months to determine if muscle surgery will be performed. In the meantime, I will live with the double vision. My question for you Dr. Hagan, is that if in the future, you do more research on cataract surgery anesthesia and diplopia if I could be involved in your study.

29837 tn?1414534648 Today I got not one but two calls from the FDA, so apparently my persistence is paying off. They are going to do whatever the pharmaceutical companies suggest, especially since there are no other alternative drugs except Interferon and Ribavirin. My contact at Vertex, who I just spoke to, is going to look once more into the IND application (Compassionate Use), and see if there's been any changes in their (Vertex) policy for allowing it.

572651 tn?1530999357 Wow. This is so weird. I only just heard about the recall because I'm on the FDA recall email list. FYI: I'm not paranoid, I'm just on the recall email list because I used to work in the product safety field and I needed to know that type of information. =) Anyway, that recall notice didn't say anything about Copaxone (which is what I'm on), and Shared Solutions hasn't called me or left me any kind of message or sent a letter. That's irritating.

Avatar m tn A new generation of NSAIDs, known as the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors, has recently been approved by the FDA. This group of NSAIDs has the advantage of having fewer gastrointestinal side effects – less abdominal discomfort and less risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, than conventional NSAIDs. There are three different COX-2 inhibitors currently available to the public– Vioxx, Celebrex and Bextra.
