The United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) announced on January 14, 2010 that it had reached a “concern” with the health and safety of certain medications. The Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has a “concern” with the medications that some of them may cause serious reactions. The agency is also investigating and seeking additional information from the manufacturers of the products. The FDA also is considering adding new warnings to the labels and/or the safety and efficacy of certain drugs and their formulations in order to minimize the risk of adverse reactions and other adverse effects of these products.
In an advisory toFDA, the FDA had stated that the most severe reactions of any medication could be the result of “certain drugs.” According to the FDA, “certain drugs that interact with some of the following medications, may increase the risk of serious, possibly fatal, adverse effects:”
Although the FDA was concerned that these reactions could be a result of taking the medications from the manufacturers of the drugs, the agency did not respond to requests for comments or requests for additional information. The FDA did not issue any response to the company’s statements or to the company’s response.
On the heels of the FDA’s concern, a federal judge in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia granted a motion to hear oral arguments on the issue of whether these and other dangerous medications are safe and effective.
In the case of, a company called theSanofiGroup LLC, has been selling a combination of drugs including Tetracycline (Tetracycline Antibiotics), Doxycycline (Doxy-Cycline Antibiotics), Monadex (monobenzylpenicillin-type antibiotics), and Triclosan (a combination of TMPs). The FDA issued a black box warning in October 2009 that it had found that these medications could cause serious adverse reactions if they are combined with certain drugs.
The FDA also found that there was “no indication that these drugs could cause serious side effects, or that they would increase the risk of serious reactions with their combinations.” The agency also found that some of these drugs can be “dangerous for patients with certain medical conditions.”
In addition, a study that compared the effects of the drugs was published in theJAMA Network Open.
Thestudy found that there were more serious reactions for the TMPs than for the other drugs. The study found that TMPs were “more likely to cause serious adverse reactions,” and the results were “unclear,” but the FDA noted that “it was unclear whether these reactions were due to taking the TMPs, the medications themselves, or any of the drugs” that were being used.
The FDA also found that the drugs in the study were not considered safe for patients with certain medical conditions. However, the FDA found that there was a “need to explore further.”
The agency also found that certain drugs may have increased the risk of adverse reactions, including TMPs, doxycycline, and doxycycline extended-release capsules. The FDA said that the FDA’s findings are “generally considered safe, but it is not clear that the drug combinations caused these reactions.”
The FDA found that a study that compared the effects of the drugs infound that the drugs were “more likely to cause serious adverse reactions.”
The FDA also found that certain drugs may have increased the risk of serious adverse reactions, including TMPs, doxycycline, and doxycycline extended-release capsules. The FDA noted that the drug combinations were not “considered safe.
