Medications and the Perils of Too Little Sodium in the Blood

Worst Pills Best Pills Newsletter article July, 2008
Many people with hypertension or congestive heart failure have been told by their physicians to avoid eating high sodium foods to help control their disease.This is sound advice. Nonetheless, some people develop hyponatremia, a potentially life-threatening disorder in which there is too little sodium in the blood.A recent review of drug-induced hyponatremia in the American Journal of Kidney Diseases presented compelling evidence that drug-induced hyponatremia is more common than many people believe. Greater awareness on the part of both health professionals and patients is important, because early recognition may allow application of corrective measures to prevent serious adverse outcomes.In this article we describe the types of people who are predisposed to hyponatremia, what medications may lead to this disorder and what symptoms to look for if you think you may be at risk.

MMR and Autism: US court says there’s a link, and awards compensationThe MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine can cause autism, a US court has concluded.  In a secret ruling that has only just come to light, the US Court of Federal Claims has conceded that the mercury-based preservative thimerosal, which was in vaccines until 2002, caused autism in the case of one child.

New Childhood Vaccine: It may cause convulsions – and even kill – but it still gets approved. 17 April 2008
Our children will soon have to receive yet another vaccine on top of the cocktail they already get – and it’s one that may cause convulsions and even death.The Rotarix vaccine – designed to prevent the rotavirus infection that causes gastroenteritis – has just been approved by America’s drug regulator, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), even though a new study has discovered that it may increase the rate of convulsions and even pneumonia-related deaths.The agency decided to approve the new vaccine because earlier studies from the manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline, had not discovered any adverse effects. It has however asked the manufacturer to carry out a post-marketing safety study that involves 40,000 infants. The most recent study, involving 31,673 infants, inadvertently discovered the possible link to increased rates of convulsions and deaths while it was assessing the new vaccine’s risk of causing intussusception, or intestinal folding, which can lead to life-threatening intestinal blockage. The previous rotavirus vaccine was withdrawn from the market in 1999 because of its intussusception risk. In earlier studies involving 24,000 infants, the new vaccine was found to cause only irritability, cough, runny nose, fever, and vomiting. The new vaccine will be given to infants aged between six and 24 weeks. (Source: FDA website)
