FDA finally admits that asthma drugs can actually cause serious asthma attacks

[Guest guest]

And as you probably know Glaucoma drops cause irreversible asthma

it defies logic to give a drug that can cause an asthma attack to a sufferer!

Did I read somewhere that there is a novel approach to slowing down breathing to alleviate these attacks?

 

Also Dr. Briffa mentions too that dairy can be a trigger for asthma

But if you check out the side effects of most drugs prescribed by most doctors you will see that whatever they treat they also have the ability to cause.

Yes, and consider they put aspartame in the drugs

used to treat the problems it causes. For

instance, headache is #1 on the FDA list of 92

symptoms. So you get an aspartame headache, go

to your physician and he uses Merck's

Maltaxt. They put aspartame in it. So you tell

them to take it out aspartame triggers headache

and they refuse. So a study is done showing that

using Maltaxt with aspartame causes more severe

headaches. They still won't take it out. It's

called selling more drugs. They put aspartame in

anti-seizure medication and its a seizure

triggering drug. Aspartame reacts wildly with

L-Dopa so they put aspartame in Parcopa! They

know what they are doing. What a sad commentary

that FDA betrays the consumer public and gives it

loyalty to Big Pharma who gives them half they

funds. Goes to show you, you can't serve two masters.

FDA finally admits that asthma drugs can actually cause serious asthma

attacks

_http://www.naturalnews.com/028544_asthma_attacks_drugs.html_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/028544_asthma_attacks_drugs.html)

 

 

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently issued new

restrictions for four popular long-acting asthma drugs. Novartis AG's Foradil,

GlaxoSmithKline's Serevent and Advair, and AstraZeneca's Symbicort, all contain

an ingredient that relaxes airway muscles in the lungs which can cause

asthma-related death. If not accompanied by other asthma drugs to offset this

life-threatening side effect, the consequences could be fatal.

 

 

These drugs have long contained a label that reads, " increases risk of

asthma-related death " , but apparently this warning is not enough for this

extreme class of medications. Known as long-acting beta-agonists (LABAs), these

asthma drugs are used by roughly six million asthma sufferers to combat

asthma symptoms. Ironically, LABAs are so dangerous that, if not combined

with other asthma drugs, can actually cause an asthma attack.

 

 

It defies logic to try to figure out how asthma drugs that can kill people

by causing severe asthma attacks are considered to be useful and effective

medicine. Instead of pulling these dangerous drugs from the market

entirely as it should, the FDA is ordering that stronger labels be affixed to

warn

doctors and physicians about the extreme risks associated with taking the

drugs. It is unclear from the agency's press release exactly how it intends

to strengthen the drugs' current death warning.

 

 

The FDA has indicated that it will require the drugs' manufacturers to

conduct education campaigns for medical professionals about how to safely use

the LABA asthma drugs. The agency is also mandating that each manufacturer

conduct additional studies to verify the safety of their drugs.

 

 

Since 2002, the FDA had continually rejected all of the overwhelming

evidence presented to it that LABAs are inherently dangerous. Only in 2008 did

the FDA first admit that the drugs were dangerous, particularly for children

and some adults. Prior to that, the agency seemed to be in agreement with

a series of industry spin pieces concocted by the drug industry to defend

the alleged safety of the drugs; this alone exhibits the FDA's lunacy in

asking the industry to conduct more of its own safety studies.

 

 

While warning that the drugs should only be used " as necessary " seems like

a step in the right direction, the FDA should be taking a leap to pull

these drugs off the market. Many experts agree that these drugs are wholly

dangerous, and that the industry has been aware of these dangers for nearly a

decade. Once again, the FDA is giving lip service to the public it is

supposed to be defending while protecting drug industry interests instead.
