[Media March 2002] Report Links Vioxx to Meningitis (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory)
[Media UK, 1996] Meningitis clusters linked to antibiotics (erythromycin)
Raptiva, a medication
prescribed to treat Psoriasis, can cause viral infections. This is
admitted by Raptiva's manufacturer, Genentech, and has been confirmed by the
FDA. Indeed, the link between Raptiva and viral infections is so clear that
Genentech recently agreed to withdraw all of the Raptiva on the U.S. market,
based on the viral infections diagnosed in Raptiva patients in America and
around the world. Prescribed to treat psoriasis,
Raptiva (efalizumab) is an injectable medication that is known to increase the
risk of developing severe, life-threatening infections, including: bacterial
sepsis (a blood infection), invasive fungal disease, progressive multifocal
leukoencephalopathy/ PML (a type of
Raptiva brain infection in which the white matter of the brain swells), viral
meningitis (an infection that causes inflammation of the brain and/or spinal
cord).
While Raptiva brain infections (specifically Raptiva PML infections and
meningitis) are the most deadly side effects, any of the above conditions
will be fatal without emergency medical care.
Quotes
"In the towns with meningitis clusters, there were almost 50% more
prescriptions for antibiotics and nine times more case of the killer disease than in the
low-incidence" towns. One antibiotic drug, erythromycin, which is marketed
under a variety of brand name and is used as a routine treatment for sore throats appeard
with mysterious frequency or the prescriptions. It was being used up to four times more
often in the towns with the serious meningitis problem than in the other towns."--Media 1996
Pfizer threatened to sue IAS as a result of statements made pointing out the association of the use of paracetamol with serious meningitis (I attach that study as well). It is interesting that following this letter to Pfizer, and two more follow ups, Pfizer chose to silently drop it’s legal threats, rather than play out their “power games” in the public arena.
