Deadly Psoriasis Drug Pulled from US Market
After being tied to at least 3 deaths (from a fatal brain infection called PML, which Jenny Thompson
told you about in the e-Alert back on March 30), popular psoriasis drug Raptiva has been -- or
rather, will be -- yanked from the market by Genentech. According to the FDA, by June 8, 2009, the
drug will be completely unavailable…at least in the U.S.
Don't wait 'til June to stop taking this deadly drug! Call your doctor right away about tapering off
Raptiva -- stopping cold turkey can cause serious health problems -- and finding a better way to
keep your psoriasis under control. But beware the other commonly prescribed treatments…
Like methotrexate, which has been linked with severe liver damage. Or cyclosporine, which can
increase your risk of hypertension and kidney problems. And let's not forget the other
immunosuppressants -- drugs like Enbrel, Amevive, and Remicade -- all of which do exactly what
they're supposed to…suppress your immune system, potentially setting you up for a whole host of
deadly infections.
