Consumers trust that the items they find on a store shelf are safe, but this is not always the case. A widespread recall of several male enhancement dietary supplements, all marketed and sold by R Thomas Marketing LLC, highlights the risks and dangers of this all too common issue. The voluntary recall of this dangerous and defective drug has not come too late for some.
About the Recall
...For many years physicians in training, called residents, worked brutally long shifts, barely sleeping over the course of days. As the workhorses of medical care in hospitals, this justifiably led to concerns over errors due to the dangerous combination of inexperience and sleep deprivation. This resulted in rule changes limiting residents to no more than 28 straight hours at the hospital, and 14 hours off after working a 24 hour shift. However, a study in this week’s New England Journal of Medicine has concluded that the reduced resident hours have not impacted patient safety, and is therefore recommending returning to the brutally long shifts of the past. Groups such as the American Medical Student Association are opposing such a rollback, pointing to the “overwhelming” evidence of the dangers of sleep deprivation. In the middle of all of this are hospital patients who expect – and pay for – medical professionals to be at their best.
Cough syrup can contain a myriad of ingredients to help alleviate pain, cough, or general discomfort; morphine is not typically one of those ingredients, but it was found in Ma Ying Long Pharmaceutical Group’s over-the-counter Licorice Coughing Liquid. Even more concerning is that the ingredient was never listed on the product’s packaging. As such, the retailer in conjunction with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is recalling the drug.

Unfortunately, the concerning information just keeps piling up; the most recent suggests that data may have been inaccurate due to the use of a defective international normalized radio device in the drug’s initial clinical trials.

Though helpful in alleviating the symptoms of a common cold, infection, or allergies, an overdose of Guaifenesin can lead to serious and potentially fatal side effects. Children with certain health conditions are especially susceptible. This makes a recent drug recall for children’s Guaifenesin grape liquid and Guaifenesin DM cherry liquid, all made by Perrigo Company, of serious concern for parents, particularly for those with children that poorly metabolize dextromethorphan.
