            <link>http://www.health-n-medicine.info/treating-lazy-eye-in-a1673.html</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Many eye doctors believed until recently that if a childs vision was impaired because of a lazy eye, the condition could not be corrected past the age of six or seven years. However, a study funded by the National Eye Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, has found that amblyopia or lazy eye treatment can be effective in children age seven through 17. In fact, many of the 517 children studied at 49 eye centers showed improvement in their vision.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Neurontin was originally approved in 1993 for the treatment of partial seizures in adults and children, especially epileptic seizures. However, this limited market for a drug with so few side effects was not enough for Warner-Lambert. The company set up a massive campaign to improve sales of Neurontin, and by 2002 Neurontin was a $2 billion dollar drug, outselling even Viagra. How did a little epilepsy drug come to claim such a huge number of patients? It did so illicitly.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Drug companies, more concerned with making a profit than keeping drug users from dying, have not (until the FDA stepped in) put black box warnings about the very real danger of SJS on their products, even medications given to young children. For those who have already fallen victim to unsafe drugs and developed Stevens Johnson Syndrome, you might want to join those who have filed lawsuits against the manufacturers of these drugs that contain no warnings about SJS.]]></description>

            <link>http://www.health-n-medicine.info/oxycontin-addiction-doctors-amp-a1667.html</link>
            <description><![CDATA[OxyContin is a narcotic drug, an opiate, that has been approved by the FDA to legally treat chronic pain. Chronic pain is a progressive disease of the nervous system and spine that causes constant a patient to experience constant, excruciating pain, changing of the chemical and anatomical makeup of the spinal cord. Left untreated, the condition will spread to unaffected areas.

            <link>http://www.health-n-medicine.info/paxil-recall-lawyer-discusses-a1666.html</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Though a latecomer to the SSRI antidepressant market, Paxil grew successful very quickly by gaining FDA approval for very specific conditions like social anxiety disorder and general anxiety disorder, which were very rare conditions at the time. In running add campaigns, Paxil encouraged people to try their drug for general anxiety and sales of Paxil soared. Paxil commercials insist that it is not addictive, and many doctors and pharmacies will repeat this hype. Some patients will tell you a different story, however, and a class action lawsuit has been filed by Paxil addicts suffering from stomach illness, headaches, intense mood swings, and electrical zapping pain behind the eyes.]]></description>

By then it had been in popular use for many years.]]></description>

The FDA is considering regulatory or recall measures for Naproxen and Aleve.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Following the recall of Fen-Phen and Redux in 1999 (two diet drugs that cause heart valve diseases) Meridia was released. Meridia is a diet drug similar to the ones that were recalled. Like the recalled drugs, it releases serotonin into the brain to trick the patients body into feeling full and choosing to eat less. These drugs do not so much remove weight from the body as they do encourage and facilitate a lifestyle involving lower caloric intake.]]></description>
