ADHD Drug Warnings Come Too Late For Many

Mr Braslow says, "doctors need to actually weigh the risks and benefits of these drugs before recommending them."

"While the newest warnings on these drugs are certainly necessary," he notes, "albeit many years late, these warnings still are not strong enough to adequately inform physicians about the true risks of these drugs."

"The FDA advisory committees," he states, "should stop worrying about frightening doctors with valid warnings and start giving doctors all the warnings so they can make fully informed choices."

"That is the job of the FDA," he states. "Our children deserve better."

The number of ADHD related deaths cited at the hearing does not reflect an accurate picture. There are many more deaths recorded in the individual states. For instance, according to the report, “Child Suicides In Florida Associated With Use Of Psychotropic Drugs,” by Ken Kramer, of the 252 cases of suicide in children under 18, between 2000 and 2004, thirty-six were on ADHD drugs.

Because the FDA system of reporting is voluntary, the agency admits that only between one and 10% of adverse reactions get recorded. Which means, because the FDA and Big Pharma intentionally delayed warning the public about the dangers of ADHD drugs, there are probably tens of thousands of ADHD victims who do not even know what happened.

Persons interested in more information on legal matters related ADHD drugs can contact the Pogust & Braslow law firm at 610-941-4204, or http://www.pogustbraslow.com/

ZYPREXA WILL SHORTEN MY LIFE

Profits over patients!

The now notorious Zyprexa diabetes connection is elaborated at thousands of pages on line.

My own local clinic and clinics everywhere have stopped dispensing Zyprexa except as a PRN for acute cases.

Eli Lilly's zyprexa gravy train will stall soon enough.

I am Daniel Haszard 4 year zyprexa user who got diabetes from it.
