I was just surfing around the world newspapers and found some kinda disturbing information about Tamiflu.
“Public health authorities in Asia and Europe are reporting Rare but serious psychaitric reactions, up to and including suicide, in children who have been given the drug Tamiflu to treat normal influenza.”
I am wondering how long this drug has been on the market? I would guess with a lot of people running scared all over the world lots of them have probably been poping these pills whether they are sick or not. Who knows what really is going on in Asia? I do know we (America) is so far down on the waiting list, I believe someone on Nighline said we will not be prepared for Avian Flu anytime soon. Perhaps 3 years and even then we won’t have anywhere near the medication needed and even then they aren’t even sure Tamiflu will treat Avian Flu (Bird Flu)
The article does say that the numbers have been small and there is no proof that Tamiflu caused the problems, health authorities at the European Medicines Agency in London were alarmed enough to issue an advisory on Friday.
Another thing in the article that may freak some Govt. officals and Health officals in other countries out ….”The warning comes at a time when most developed countries have purchased millions of dollars worth of the previously little-used drug for widespread prescription in the even of human influenza pandemic.”
Also the US FDA said there is not enough information to issue a warning….maybe that is because the BUSH ADMIN DRUG it’s feet and didn’t order the DRUG.
I am not sure if this is really anything, or could turn into something, but I just wanted to let y’all know.
Anyway the article is here in the International Herald Trib
