According to news sources, the drug Multaq is getting a new safety warning after a study found increased risks of heart attack, stroke and death associated with the drug with a subset of patients that took part in the study.
The heart rhythm drug controls the heart’s chambers by allowing them to pump in sync for patients with atrial fibrillation. The new warning would allow the drug to remain on the market but would stress to doctors and patients that it be used only for treatment of the short-term variant of the condition. People with permanent atrial fibrillation were shown to double their risks of heart-related complications by using the drug.
The Food and Drug Administration has written the warning label with the drug-maker, Sanofli, urging doctors to check their patients heart rhythms once every three months to ensure that no adverse effects are taking place. As for patients who have the long term variant of the condition, the FDA is recommending that they discontinue the drugs use.
The FDA also said that the drug continues to be beneficial to patients.

According to news sources, The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is aiming to make gel fuels and firepots safer for consumers by voting to begin publishing advance notices of proposed rulemaking to the public.
Consumers using gel fuel run burn risks when pouring it into an already lit firepot, since the gel can unexpectedly ignite and splash onto the users face or body. There have already been about 65 incidents reported between April 2010 through September 2011 relating to the use of the product. Of those incidents, two resulted in death and about 34 cases resulted in second and third degree burns of different body parts.
The measure would allow the public 60 days from the time of publication of any proposed rules to discuss the different safety aspects as well as the risks involved with using the product.
The CPSC began the process of investigating burn accidents resulting from the use of firegel products last June.

According to news reports, Chicago Bears’ receiver Johnny Knox is facing four months of recovery from his recent back surgery at minimum.
In a recent football game, Knox suffered a crack to one of the facet joints that stabilize the spinal column when he sustained a hit from Seahawks defensive tackle Anthony Hargrove. The Bears’ spine consultant and certified orthopedic surgeon Srdjan Mirkovic performed the corrective surgery on Knox’s spine at Northwestern Memorial Hospital Monday. Spine surgeon for Loyola University Medical Center Alex Ghanayem said that recovery from a single level vertebral fusion by saying, “The bone has to heal first. But (you) don’t start doing back exercises until two to three months after surgery, on average. In terms of getting back into sports… we’re talking six months after surgery is the rough minimum when you’re ready for full-fledged contact. But that depends on how much damage there was, too, at the time of the surgery.”
The injured receiver is one of three injured players in the Bears’ lineup as they head into the two final games of the regular season.
As a back pain doctor, I know the severity of this injury and the long recovery that this player can expect. I hope he has the support he needs as he recovers from this unfortunate incident. If you’ve suffered an injury and suffer from some kind of chronic pain, call a pain management doctor to help you in reducing your pain.
