February 10, 2005 ------ Nevirapine has been in the news recently over a study in Africa, where researchers apparently " forgot " to report numerous serious side effects and even several deaths. The study was to prove efficacy in reducing HIV transmission from pregnant mothers to their newborns, but researchers also " forgot " to include a control group of mothers that did not receive the drug. Grave oversights? Apparently the US health authorities thought so, because the application by Boeringer Ingelheim to use their drug on pregnant mothers in the US was never approved. Toxicity seem to be severe, but it was not properly reported, and could not be compared to non-toxic alternatives. Studies for the approval... ------ http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/sepp/2005/02/10/azt_nevirapine_do_antiretroviral\ _drugs_cause_aids.htm A question we need to ask ourselves in earnest.
