Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 ------- Heart Failure Drug Killed Thousands, injured more! Jan Slama <ajax8848 http://curezone.com/forums/m.asp?f=237 & i=1225 The drug, called spironolactone, first looked promising five years ago when studies showed that it decreased the death rate by 30% in people with serious heart failure. But following that study, doctors started widely prescribing the drug, and as a result, the drug has caused an estimated 4,200 deaths in the United States and 37,000 more hospitalizations each year.
