Dangerous Medicines

Earlier this morning I was reading an article on MSNBC.com titled "8 Drugs Doctors Wouldn't Take...If Your Physician Skips These Medicines, Maybe You Should Too". It was very interesting. Below is the list, but here is a LINK in case you want to read the article yourself. Consider this my PSA for today!

1. Advair...an asthma medicine
2. Advandia...a medicine for diabetes
3. Celebrex...a "super aspirin"
4. Ketex...an antibiotic traditionally prescribed for respiratory-tract infections
5. Prilosec...heartburn medicine
6. Nexium...heartburn medicine
7. Visine Original...eye drops
8. Pseudoephedrine...a decongestant

Now I know why I go to the nth degree to keep from taking pres. medicine.
