IS THE DRUG DANGEROUS IN UK - BUT NOT IN THE US???
Dr Ulf Jonasson
File :-(, x)
If the British recognize that the drug propoxyphene is too dangerous to prescribe to patients, whats keeping Americans from realizing the same thing? Propoxyphene is an extremely dangerous painkiller. It is physically and psychologically addictive, is no more effective than safer alternatives and has been associated with more than 2,000 accidental deaths in America since 1981. Despite these risks, however, the drug was one of the 25 most prescribed generic drugs last year, with 22 million prescriptions filled in pharmacies in 2007.
