    In May of 1999, the FDA approved the use of rofecoxib. Marketed under the name of Vioxx, rofecoxib was manufactured and distributed by Merck, a large pharmaceutical company. Doctors prescribed the drug as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and prescription painkiller. Five years after its release, rofecoxib was withdrawn because of a study that showed the drug more than doubled the risk of heart attack or stroke. Because of Merck’s ongoing and increasing knowledge of the dangerous effects of the drug while continuing to distribute rofecoxib, Merck should be held accountable for acting unethically.…

    Cyclobenzaprine is a tricyclic amine, central nervous system (CNS) depressant and centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant that targets the brain stem leading to relief of musculoskeletal pain and stiffness usually caused by muscle spasms[1][4]. Recent studies have shown positive effects on patients with Fibromyalgia, but treatment with cyclobenzaprine only masks some of the physical symptoms of the disease and is not recommended for long term use [2]. It is administered orally in pill form with a recommended dosage of 5 – 10 mg three times per 24 hour period. Dosage depends upon individual response, age, current medications, and medical history. Cyclobenzaprine is not intended for regular use extending further than 2 – 3 weeks…

    Codeine: Codeine is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. It is rapidly distributed from the intravascular spaces to the various body tissues, with preferential uptake by parenchymatous organs such as the liver, spleen and kidney. Codeine crosses the blood-brain barrier, and is found in fetal tissue and breast milk. The plasma concentration does not correlate with brain concentration or relief of pain; however, codeine is not bound to plasma proteins and does not accumulate in body tissues.…

    In 1995, the FDA approved a miracle drug, which would aid in a person's ability to cope with the severe pain associated with cancer. Purdue Pharma L.P. of Stamford, Connecticut, introduced the wonder drug that would eventually be the demise of many. Oxycotin would, for several, lead to addiction, criminal behaviors, and, for some, their lives. The intent of releasing the drug was solely to treat patients suffering from chronic pain. Since the release of the drug, doctors are now prescribing the medicine for moderate pain as well. Patients have become extremely addicted and have gone to extreme lengths to obtain the "poor man's heroin," which may include criminal activities. Recovering addicts endure an extreme withdrawal process, therefore, treatments may include extreme medications such as methadone, yet recurrence…

    Anthrax

    • 1084 Words
    • 5 Pages

    It’s hard to find a person that does not enjoy biting into a nice juicy steak, a hamburger, or even his or her mother’s meatloaf. Next time you take a bite into those delicious cattle you might want to take something into consideration. Anthrax, which is a life threatening disease that affects sheep, cattle, horses, and goats, can be transmitted to a human from a simple bite of infected meat. This disease comes in three different varieties including Cutaneous, Gastrointestinal, and Inhalation (also known as pulmonary). The symptoms of each form differ from one another and can have different affects on the body. The First type of anthrax is known as Cutaneous Anthrax. The symptoms leading to a diagnosis would be a raised, itchy bump that may look very similar to an average bug bite. This will develop quickly and turn into a painless sore with a black center. The bump will start to swell caused by the nearby lymph glands becoming infected. The second type of anthrax is gastrointestinal anthrax. Symptoms of this kind of anthrax will be nausea, vomiting (sometimes blood), no appetite, severe diarrhea, fever, sore throat, and a swollen neck causing difficulty in swallowing. The final type of anthrax is known as Inhalation or pulmonary anthrax. This is often confused with the common flu because of the similar symptoms between the two. These symptoms include high fever, sore throat, muscle soreness, and chest discomfort. As this disease grows into the later stages, you will contract symptoms such as trouble breathing, shock, and worst of all meningitis. Meningitis is a life-threatening inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. (Michael C. Fishbein : Anthrax)…
