Prostate cancer drugs that can cause heart attack, stroke, diabetes and even sudden death must now carry labels to warn patients of their potential risks, according to a new U.S. Food and Drug Administration rule.

In May, the FDA first announced the drugs’ links to the health problems, saying patients taking gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists were at a small increased risk for the health complications.

“I think this was long due,” said Dr. David Samadi, vice chair of Urology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. “A lot of times the risks [of taking the medication] outweigh the benefit; as more and more patients read about side effects, they will choose surgery over radiation.”

Not only are the drugs bad especially for men with heart problems, but they induce symptoms of “male menopause,” he said, causing depression, fatigue and weight gain. These changes occur naturally as men age and their testosterone drops, but the drugs bring them on sooner, he said.

However, in very serious prostate cancer, the drugs still work wonders, said Dr. Ana Aparicio, an assistant medical oncology professor at the University of Texas’ M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.

“These drugs are extremely effective for treating this disease, and in all do make people feel better,” Aparicio said.

The CDC looked at fatal accidents involving drivers who were 16 or 17 years of age. There were more than 9,600 such incidents during the five-year span and more than 11,000 people died in the crashes. The rate of these fatal crashes has been declining since 1996. Experts believe that stricter laws and restrictions on teens (including curbing when teens can drive and when they can carry passengers) is the chief reason for the decline.

According to Russ Rader, a spokesman for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, an Arlington, Va.-based research group funded by auto insurance companies, “It’s not that teens are becoming safer, it’s that state laws enacted in the last 15 years are taking teens out of the most hazardous driving situations.”

Per the 41-page agreement, Sheen and Mueller will share joint custody of their two children.

Most of the committee members voted to leave Avandia on the market but recommended that changes be made in how it is prescribed. Additionally, 12 out of the committee’s 33 members voted to pull Avandia off the market altogether, while only three supported leaving it on the market with its current labeling. Seven voted to add stiffer warnings to the current label, and 10 wanted both stiffer language and restrictions on its use.

A 2007 study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, linked the drug to a 43 percent higher chance of heart attack as well as in increased risk of stroke and, in some cases, death. After that, federal regulators mandated that GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) add more warnings to the drug’s labeling.

GSK is facing more than 13,000 legal challenges, and has already awarded $60 million to settle some of them. A Philadelphia court will hear the first American cases in October.

Early this spring, Malcolm McLaren, fashion designer and former manager of the Sex Pistols, passed away from mesothelioma. At the time of his death, his doctors were unable to explain the source of his toxic exposure to asbestos, which in almost all cases is the explanation behind a diagnosis of this rare cancer. Friends and loved ones have now concluded that McLaren was exposed in his fashion boutique SEX on Kings Road in London; the store is believed to have contained asbestos materials in its construction and layout.

McLaren owned and operated the boutique from 1971 to 1980.

Mesothelioma can affect several different organs in the body, not just the lungs. When mesothelioma occurs in the lining of the lungs, it is called pleural mesothelioma.

Young Kim, McLaren’s longtime girlfriend, is currently in the process of bringing a lawsuit against the hospital where McLaren was treated.
