Propecia Linked to Sexual Dysfunction & Psychiatric Disorders
By Robert J. Boumis
 The drug Propecia (finasteride) was approved to treat male pattern baldness and benign prostate hyperplasia, a mild form of enlarged prostate. However, evidence has mounted that Propecia may be associated with a number of serious side effects.
One of the first possible issues with Propecia that began to come to light was an array of sexual side effects. Propecia works by altering the way the body processes various male hormones. These hormones contribute to baldness and enlargement of the prostate, so it makes sense that a drug suppressing these hormones could help these conditions.

Tropicana Orange Juice Class Action Lawsuit Survives
By Jessica Tyner
 A federal judge has refused to dismiss a class action lawsuit accusing Tropicana Products Inc. of falsely advertising that its orange juice is all natural.
On June 12, U.S. District Judge Dennis M. Cavanaugh partly granted and partially denied Tropicana’s motion to dismiss the class action lawsuit Dennis Lynch v. Tropicana Products Inc., filed last December by seven plaintiffs. The case is one of nearly 20 class action lawsuits pending against Tropicana that claim its "100% Pure" orange juice is heavily processed and flavored.

Seizure Drugs Linked to Stevens Johnson Syndrome
By John Curran
 Dilantin (phenytoin) and Lamictal (lamotrigine) are the first lines of defense for two separate indications: epilepsy and minimizing seizures. Lamictal is also used to treat depressive episodes in bipolar disorder. Both medications carry black-box warnings for Stevens Johnson Syndrome, a rare autoimmune disorder that attacks the mucus membranes.
The federal Food and Drug Administration did not make the changes to the labeling of these drugs until years after they were introduced to market, even though studies had indicated the risks for these medications were significantly higher than other medications for years. However, for many doctors, the possibility of Stevens Johnson Syndrome side effects are so low that they often fail to warn patients of this risk.

Best-Selling Antibiotic Linked to Heart Failure
By Robert J. Boumis
 People forget that many processes in the human body are literally electric. The human heart in particular has a very complex system of nerves that coordinate the various muscles needed to keep this biological pump running smoothly. However, one extremely popular antibiotic, Zithromax, may cause changes in the electrical systems of the heart. These changes can lead to lethal side effects like heart failure.
Zithromax is a powerhouse drug. It dominates the market for antibiotics. Zithromax is the trade name of azithromycin, and also sells under the name Azithrocin, Zmax, Z-Pak, and Azin. It belongs to the macrolide class of antibiotics, and works by interfering with bacteria’s ability to synthesize proteins. This makes the drug very effective against a wide variety of bacterial infections, including everything from food poisoning to STDs. This has led to Zithromax and its derivatives being one of the best – if not the best – selling antibiotics in the world. In the United States alone, Zithromax sales generate more than a billion dollars per year in revenue.
