Bill requiring men who wanted erectile dysfunction drugs to get affidavit from sex partner: Whatever happened to …?

Posted: Published on January 22nd, 2013

"Whatever happened to . . .?" is a weekly series updating some of the most newsworthy and interesting local stories covered in The Plain Dealer. Have a suggestion on a story we should update? Send it to John C. Kuehner. Today, we answer this question: Whatever happened to the bill that would have required any man who wanted Viagra or other erectile dysfunction drugs to undergo a psychological examination and obtain an affidavit from a sex partner saying he truly needed the drug? Senate Bill 307 did not go anywhere. Introduced last March by Ohio Sen. Nina Turner in response to a bill that would have banned abortions as soon as a heartbeat could be detected in a fetus, the "Good for the Goose" bill had its first hearing on Dec. 5, a week before the end of the 2012 legislative session. But that's only because Ohio lawmakers have agreed to give every bill at least one courtesy hearing. And the Cleveland Democrat made sure she was there to comment. "The men in our lives generously devote time and debate to fundamental female reproductive issues," she testified before the Senate Health, Human Services and Aging Committee. "The least we can … Continue reading →

DrugRisk Adds New Yaz Blood Clot Warning, Lawsuit News

Posted: Published on January 22nd, 2013

The DrugRisk Resource Center is the Webs largest source for information on prescription drug warnings, side effects and legal news. Visit http://www.DrugRisk.com New York, NY (PRWEB) January 22, 2013 DrugRisk seeks to improve patient safety through education, with the latest updates of drug studies, recalls, and litigation news. While prior data has linked Yaz to blood clots, this study is the first to specifically addresses women suffering migraines, explains DrugRisk representative Ryan Mayer. The resource center recently added warnings from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists that birth control pills containing drospirenone, like Yaz and Yasmin, may cause higher risks of blood clots.* Frances Health Ministry has also said they will stop reimbursements for the drugs over similar concerns.** Nevertheless, there has still been no official Yaz recall by the manufacturer. Now, a new study on DrugRisk from Bringham and Womens Faulkner Hospital in Boston found that, while combined hormone contraceptives like Yaz and Yasmin may raise blood clot risks for all women, the risks are significantly higher for those suffering migraines.*** DrugRisk has learned that thousands of patients have filed Yaz lawsuits over blood clots, which have been consolidated to a special Multi-District Litigation court in Illinois. The … Continue reading →

DrugRisk Update: Judge Orders Pradaxa Maker to Disclose Prior Lawsuit Info

Posted: Published on January 22nd, 2013

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 22, 2013 The prescription drug resource center DrugRisk.com is alerting patients taking the blood thinner Pradaxa that new information has been added to the site showing the judge presiding over Pradaxa internal bleeding lawsuits has ordered the drug maker to disclose information on prior lawsuits. The goal of DrugRisk is to improve patient safety through education of the latest drug warnings, recalls, studies and litigation news. Many follow litigation to learn how others may be affected with similar problems and whether they have options, explains DrugRisk representative Ryan Mayer. DrugRisk previously added a report from the Institute for Safe Medication Practices showing anticoagulants like Pradaxa are among the highest risk outpatient drugs. Also, hemorrhage cases submitted to the FDA show bleeding from Pradaxa was nearly 5 times as likely to result in death than with warfarin.* The resource center has learned that, due to the number of Pradaxa lawsuits filed so far, cases are being consolidated in a special federal court in Illinois, formally known as MDL No. 2385, IN RE: Pradaxa Product Liability Litigation, Southern District of Illinois. Judge David Herndon, who is overseeing the litigation, recently reported that as many as 176 cases … Continue reading →

Your Skin on Drugs — New Tool From RxISK.org

Posted: Published on January 22nd, 2013

Free online tool to research and report prescription drug side effects on skin and nails Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) January 21, 2013 Crime TV fans know how easily drugs can be detected by skin and nail analysis, says Dr. Dee Mangin, Data Based Medicines Chief Medical Officer and McMaster Universitys David Braley Nancy Gordon Chair of Family Medicine. However, in real life we often dont make the connection between the prescription drugs we take and their effects on our bodies. Arsenic, the poison of choice for inheritance-minded spouses in the 19th century, was actually more commonly used in the cosmetic sense to lighten skin color and whiten eyes. Unfortunately, one could easily get the dosage wrong and pay the ultimate price for beauty. Today, skin-bleaching drugs are one of the biggest sellers in the world, and are linked to blood cancers such as leukemia and cancers of the liver and kidneys, as well as a severe skin condition called ochronosis, a form of hyper-pigmentation that causes the skin to turn a dark purple shade. Oral contraceptives are an even bigger seller. However, many of these are advertised and sold for their beneficial effects on skin rather than for contraception. They can … Continue reading →

Wal-Mart's health care question

Posted: Published on January 22nd, 2013

Folks at Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) can't seem to make up their minds about health care. Just last week, there was talk the company might offer health insurance coverage to small businesses, a group that has trouble buying coverage at reasonable rates. Sounds like the company might be thinking about organizing a health-care exchange targeting small businesses. Maybe not. A company spokeswoman told Bloomberg BusinessWeek the company was evaluating the idea. But, she added, "Wal-Mart does not currently have plans for a private health insurance exchange." Okay. Next, the Orlando Business Journal's Abraham Aboraya, who started all this speculation, quoted a Wal-Mart executive as saying it will open primary care clinics in five to seven years. But, no, maybe not. Later, the company told Aboraya that there was no big plan for primary care. So it's all very confusing. The larger trend is, however, that small-business health insurance exchanges are starting to get organized. It may be that a Wal-Mart or a Costco Wholesale (COST) may be involved, as opposed to exchanges set up by states, because they have the expertise on negotiating plans covering many thousands of people, particularly Costco. At the same time, big retail chains, like Wal-Mart, Costco … Continue reading →

Indonesia sentences British woman to death for drugs

Posted: Published on January 22nd, 2013

BALI, Indonesia An Indonesian court sentenced a British woman to death on Tuesday for smuggling cocaine worth $2.5 million into the resort island of Bali -- even though prosecutors had sought only a 15-year sentence. Lindsay June Sandiford, 56, wept when judges handed down the sentence and declined to speak to reporters on her way back to prison, covering her face with a scarf. She had previously claimed in court that she was forced into taking the drugs into the country by a gang that was threatening to hurt one of her children. There are about 40 foreigners on death row in Indonesia, which like many Asian countries is very strict on drug crimes. A verdict is expected in the trial of Sandiford's alleged accomplice, British man Julian Anthony Pounder, on Wednesday. He is accused of receiving the drugs in Bali, which has a busy bar and nightclub scene where party drugs such as cocaine and ecstasy are bought and sold between foreigners. In its verdict, a judge panel at the Denpasar District Court concluded that Sandiford had damaged the image of Bali as a tourism destination and weakened the government's drug prevention program. "We found no reason to lighten … Continue reading →
