1. Vioxx?

Isn't Vioxx off the market?

If so, then wouldn't it be rather difficult for Merke to hook anyone on Vioxx?

[KoKo]

4. You didn't read the link to the OP did you? And what if YOU or Family

had TAKEN VIOXX ...just like those little girls having that Cervical Vaccine just rolled out are being asked to do or mandated to do in Bush Bot Perry's Texas are having to do. :shrug:

[demrabble]

6. I Read The Link

And it mentioned that Merck had withdrawn Vioxx from the market.

So I'm still confused about how Merck is hooking people to Vioxx.

If it isn't sold, then who is being hooked?

[KoKo]

7. It's not being sold because of all the people who died taking it. n/t

8. FOZAMAX showing up in Dental Patients and Dentists trying to deal with the effects.

Indiana dentists seeing more cases of Fosamax side effects
December 19, 2006
Some dentists in Terre Haute, Indiana are seeing ever more cases of decaying jaw bones, which may be caused by their patients’ use of osteoporosis drugs like Fosamax. Its purpose is to strengthen bones, but it has been proven to have serious Fosamax side effects.

In osteonecrosis of the jaw (known as ONJ), the symptoms can take weeks or months to appear, and they include pain, loose teeth, exposed jawbone in the mouth and drainage. The drugs being linked to it are called bisphosphonates, the most prominent of which is Fosamax. They are typically prescribed for osteoporosis patients in pill form, although Fosamax can be given by IV for patients suffering bone cancer.

The American Dental Association has urged dentists to avoid invasive dental procedures in patients on IV bisphosphonates and to take a conservative approach even with patients using oral bisphosphonates.

Fosamax lawyers have seized on recent data linking Merck’s best-selling osteoporosis drug to ONJ and are advertising to represent ONJ patients who have taken bisphosphonate drugs, whether orally or through an IV.

Fifteen Fosamax lawsuits had been filed against Merck, according to CNNMoney.com. In one case, more than $1 million in damages was being sought.

Of the more than 20 million Americans using oral bisphosphonates, the number of reported cases of ONJ seems still to be in the hundreds or few thousands. As of May 2005, just 800 cases had been reported to the Food and Drug Administration.

quit stalking me.

3. Have you got a cure for cancer?

[hedgehog]

10. According to your link, 800 of the 20 million Americans taking

the foxomax type drug have reported this complication, a rate of 0.004%. Once an older person fractures a hip, it is unlikely that they will ever regain full mobility and had a 20% greater risk of dying in the next year than an elderly person who has not broken a hip. What does it take for an elderly person with untreated osteoporosis to break a hip? How about falling from a standing position?

I don't know about you, but I think my odds would be better on the pill than off of it!

[KoKo]

12. You lose your teeth and your jaw bone because you take Fozamax

to save you from falling and breaking your hip. The "trade off" is what you say...but folks on Fozamax weren't TOLD that they could have Dental Problems like this because the drug wasn't tested long enough and if folks were told to eat more calcium in their foods and get out in the Sun to get Vitamin D then they might not need Fozamax unless they were gentically predisposed to osteoporosis. :shrug:

[KoKo]

13. That's that they know SO FAR! And, not everyone would be in that

report ...only those who visit a Dentist who would report it or would actually ask the meds a patient is on and make the connection. :shrug:

11. Wrong. Vaccines are not "discovered". They are developed.

Or created. Or whatever.

They are not out in nature waiting to be tripped over.
