FDA Investigates the Use of Botox for Cerebral Palsy

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

The use of botulinum toxin, or Botox, in order to treat limb spastically in pediatric patients with cerebral palsy has been linked with severe adverse reactions, such as respiratory failure and death.

The FDA has not approved the use of botulinum toxin to treat the effects of cerebral palsy in the United States.

The severe reactions to Botox are similar to the symptoms of botulism and seem to be related to the botulinum toxins spread throughout the body. These symptoms of botulism include weakness, breathing problems and difficulty swallowing.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is conducting an ongoing investigation of the product. It is suggested that overdoses of Botox are a contributing factor for the adverse symptoms.

The FDA has not advised discontinuation of the product, but they have advised that those treated with Botox be aware of the symptoms of an adverse reaction.

Cerebral palsy is an injury that results during childbirth from damage to the cerebrum. If complications arise during birth, it is the responsibility of the doctor to act in a manner that will protect the child from potential long term suffering from cerebral palsy.

Birth Trauma

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

Birth trauma can be thought of as trauma suffered by the mother or, more typically, injuries suffered by the baby.  Birth trauma refers to injuries sustained during the labor and delivery process.   Causes of birth trauma can be split into two categories:  first, injuries suffered from physical trauma during the birth process – know as traumatic birth injury, and second, injuries that occur as a result of lack of oxygen during birth.  The medical term for this type of injury is hypoxic-ischemic.

Paxil and Pregnancy

Saturday, February 9th, 2008

During pregnancy, it would be best if you never had to take medications, however, sometimes it is necessary for your overall wellbeing to take the medications.  Some women with severe depression or other conditions face a difficult decision about taking their medications during pregnancy since some antidepressants have been shown to increase the risk of birth defects when taken during pregnancy. Such women may be advised that the benefits of taking an antidepressant during pregnancy outweigh the risks. While this may be partially true, some studies show Paxil is an antidepressant that has significant risks for pregnant women and their developing babies.

Studies have shown that Paxil can be linked to heart defects such as atrial and ventricular septal defects, which are characterized by holes in the walls of the chambers of the heart. Heart-related Paxil birth defects range in severity from minor, which may resolve without treatment, to severe conditions, which usually require surgical repair.  It has also been shown that Paxil can be linked to PPHN (persistent pulmonary hypertension), which is a rare but life-threatening birth defect that can lead to multiple organ failure and death.  PPHN requires prompt diagnosis and treatment, and can still prove fatal.  Babies who survive the initial trauma of PPHN often suffer permanent damage affecting their hearing and speech as well as brain damage that can result in developmental delays and neurological deficits.

Are Drug Companies Responsible and Accountable?

Monday, February 4th, 2008
When doctors are told by the drug companies that they have a new miracle drug and give the doctors samples to give to their patients, who is responsible for any adverse reactions that patients may have?
 
The drug companies certainly do not seem to be taking responsibility. Doctors are only trying to do the best for their patients.

It’s time we, the consumer, begin to question the need for so many drugs that are not proven. Modern science is a wonderful thing, but it can also lead to a sense of false security. With the numbers of recalled drugs in recent years, there is a need for some serious reconsideration and even more serious accountability by the drug companies.
