Guest guest Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Here is a warning for all Exjade users. Novartis has issued notices on this YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOR9EIA9BRk http://online.wsj.com/public/article_print/SB117985130179810958.html Wall Street Journal in 2007 ran an article of the dangers of Exjade: FDA Warns Novartis's Exjade Could Cause Kidney Failure By JENNIFER CORBETT DOOREN May 22, 2007 6:36 p.m. WASHINGTON -- The Food and Drug Administration warned health-care providers Tuesday about kidney failure and deaths possibly associated with Exjade, a Novartis AG drug that removes excess iron in patients undergoing regular blood transfusions. http://online.wsj.com/public/article_print/SB117985130179810958.html Skip was on this drug until this article appeared and perhaps some of you were also on this drug. This is strictly FYI for anyone who used Exjade. Novartis said there were eight deaths associated with acute renal, or kidney, failure. More than 13,000 patients have been treated with Exjade since the drug was approved in November 2005. FYI, Lottie Duthu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
