A list of dangerous drugs — and safer alternatives — for seniors

October 20th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Consumer Reports has published a valuable article identifying common prescription drugs that can be dangerous for older patients. Healthcare consumers over age 65 are more than twice as likely to suffer from adverse drug reactions; the publication lists the following drugs as posing a high enough risk that they should be avoided if possible: Antianxiety [...]

It’s time to put an end to our “prescription drug culture”

October 10th, 2008 · No Comments

I stumbled across this while reading Gawker: “Teen socialite” Peaches Geldof says the staff at the fashion magazine Nylon prefer prescription drugs over illegal drugs – What’s the drug of choice at Nylon? “Klonopin.” Peaches was definitely the talky one. Why? “It’s just a very large prescription drug culture.”… This confirms our highly anecdotal evidence [...]

As you know, we like to post links to parodies of pharmaceutical commercials. Rather than publish these individually, though, I thought I’d provide all these links in a single roundup post. Here are some popular parodies of current drug ads — one for each drug. (Be warned that some of them are a little off-color.) [...]

Did doctors illegally prescribe pills to Heath Ledger?

February 29th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Doctors in California and Texas are currently under investigation for illegally prescribing Ledger the painkillers Oxycontin and Vicodin, according to reports. Whether the individual doctors did anything wrong, however, patients can get in trouble when they go to multiple doctors — which is increasingly the case in today’s world. That’s why it is important to [...]

The dangers of anti-depressants

January 20th, 2008 · No Comments

Fox News ran a provocative story Thursday slamming Big Pharma for overhyping the benefits — and downplaying the dangers — of anti-depressants such as Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac and Effexor. You can read the transcript here or watch the piece below. Frankly, it’s surprising to me to see this kind of anti-Big Pharma slant from Fox [...]

September 26th, 2007 · No Comments

In this 10-minute video, Natalie, a lovely Austin, Texas-based nutritionist, discusses how to improve your diet so you can take fewer statins (cholesterol drugs like Simvastatin), proton pump inhibitors (drugs for heartburn and acid reflux like Nexium and Prilosec) and antidepressants (Prozac, Zoloft, etc.)

Hydrocodone supplants OxyContin as the new “hillbilly heroin”

August 23rd, 2007 · 1 Comment

A few years ago, OxyContin was all over the news because of Rush Limbaugh’s much-publicized addiction — and also because its illicit use was so widespread in Appalachia that it was known as “hillbilly heroin.” We’re not sure about Rush, but apparently the hillibillies have moved on — to hydrocodone.
