Dangerous Drugs

I ran across this article while waiting to get my hair cut. It lists 8 drugs MDs would not take for themselves or their own family. Better make sure you're not using them.

The list:

• Keflex-antibiotic that kills bacteria and your liver too
• Nexium and Prilosec-anti-heartburn drugs that cause pneumonia and heart attacks.
• Visine-as in eyedrops Visine... causes eye redness (I am not making this up).
• Pseudoephedrine-sinus decongestant that causes heart attacks and strokes.
• Advair-the asthma drug has a black box warning because it can often cause worse asthma.
• Avendia-for diabetes increases your chances of getting and dying of a heart attack.
• Celebrex-one of the few remaining cox-2 inhibitors left on the market still causes heart attacks in addition to the stomach bleeding and liver damage.
