Yep. I delayed giving my young kids Guardiasil for HPV prevention. Grateful I did.

The Vioxx saga contributed to a change of leadership at Cleveland Clinic.

I miss Darvocet. It was one of the few pain medications I could take that didn't give me bad side effects.

Do you remember Fen-Phen for weight loss? I knew someone who ended up with pulmonary hypertension and heart valve damage....I think Florida was the first to ban it

Thalidomide was a miracle drug for morning sickness that caused severe birth defects

I know it’s a valuable antibiotic but cipro scares the hell out of me every time I’ve taken it for a diverticulitis. Beyond the immediate dangers I exercise daily and have to worry for months afterwards that one of my tendons is going to snap randomly one day.

I was so sad about Vioxx, it worked better for my pain than anything. So glad I didn’t have any adverse effects

I was put on rinvoq for Crohn’s last year. A new Jax inhibitor. Supposed to be a “cure all” for Crohn’s. I got a GI bleed a month and a half later. I mentioned to the doctor at the ER starting Rinvoq and asking if it was a possible cause. They said no, not likely. Found out it has a black box label for this…

Wasn't Singulair another one with suicidal thoughts? It wasn't identified until after it was approved by the FDA and used by the general public, yes?

Viox was sad because it was the only thing that ever really helped my mom’s arthritis. Obvious death is worse.

Sad about Vioxx. It was a very effective drug otherwise. My mom worked for Merck during that time.

I remember Tavist-D many years ago. It worked great for my allergies but made me drowsy

Vioxx was a miracle drug. it was the only non-narcotic that stopped my pain, and gave me my life back. I took it in my 20s, but it was removed from the market due to the deaths in older folks. Probably for the best, as I am in the at-risk age now. 😅
