Data Based Medicine Americas Ltd. announces free online tool to show possible links between prescription drugs and suicide Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) November 19, 2012 According to the World Health Organizations World Report on Violence and Health, each year, more than 1.6 million people lose their lives to violence, with 50% of these deaths classified as suicides. Self-inflicted injuries are the fourth leading cause of death, the sixth leading cause of ill-health and disability, and the leading cause of death for people aged 15-35 years. Suicide is the deliberate termination of ones existence, while in the possession and enjoyment of his or her mental faculties. Taking one's own life under the influence of drugs is death by misadventure, not suicide, says says Dr. David Healy, a world-renowned psychiatrist who has written extensively about the lack of data in evidence-based medicine, including in his latest book, Pharmageddon.

Healy says that the risk of suicide is greatest when a patient begins or stops taking a prescription drug. Similar to space shuttle travel, the riskiest periods for many drug side effects are entry into … Continue reading →

From heartburn pills that cause heart attacks to anti-depressants that lead to suicide, Maclean's magazine is spotlighting drug side effects and dangers that are often identified only after they come to market. "It's a complicated issue. There are dangers associated with prescription drugs that we're not talking about and our regulatory system is not necessarily equipped to communicate those dangers to us," says Ann Kingston, a senior writer with Maclean's. In 2000, Conservative MP Terrence Young's daughter collapsed died of heart failure while taking an acid reflux drug that has since been pulled from the market. "Nobody thought there was any problem with [the drug] but as Mr. Young investigated after the death, he learned that there were huge dangers associated with it and that Health Canada knew about them and warned doctors. But the mechanism for warning doctors is not always effective in that doctors are swamped; they're not up to date on what's going on with drugs," says Kingston. "As a result, there were … Continue reading →
