Propecia Side Effects - How Serious?


Propecia is the name of the drug Finasteride prescribed in 1mg doses to combat hair loss in men. Propecia side effects include some forms of sexual dysfunction which may alarm some users.

Just what is the evidence and are there any statistics to help us evaluate the risks involved with the side effects of Propecia?

The effects of Propecia and the side effects were noted on 1,553 males who took Propecia over a 2 year period.

Clinical trials produced the following statistics for Propecia side effects:


  • Decrease in sexual desire: 1.8%

  • Problems with erection: 1.3%

  • Decrease in semen volume ejaculated: 1.2%



To put these figures into perspective, when monitoring Propecia's side effects, 3.8% experienced some kind of sexual dysfunction while 2.1% of the men using a placebo also experienced the same problems.

Additionally, these side effects were reversible in the men who discontinued taking Propecia and within some weeks they had disappeared.

One point to note is that the stopping of Propecia can result in losing any hair that has been regrown. The drug needs to be taken indefinitely to maintain the hair growth and density.

However, if a user discontinued taking the drug after experiencing the Propecia side effects noted above, it is very unlikely he would experience any decrease in hair growth. This is because it takes between three to six months of daily use to see any increase in hair growth and the side effects are experienced well before then.

As Propecia effects hormone levels some men experienced tenderness in the breast. However, this was a small number and no more than those who used the placebo.

Another aspect of Propecia side effects has to do with the detection of prostate cancer. The drug Finasteride which is contained in the Propecia tablets was originally marketed to combat prostate cancer in men over 50. It was prescribed in 5 mg doses.

Finasteride can affect a man's PSA levels (prostate specific antigen) which is often used as a screening test for prostate cancer. The use of Propecia may therefore affect the detection of prostate cancer. It has yet to be confirmed whether prolonged use of Propecia can actually reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

While the figures given above may not seem significant and in view of the fact these Propecia side effects are reversible if the drug is discontinued it may appear that there is little cause for concern.

However, another aspect should be noted. Even though a drug may receive FDA approval after rigorous tests and many years of clinical trials and reports, FDA approval does not mean the long term effects of a drug are known.

This perhaps is the most worrying aspect about Propecia's side effects. The fact that young men often take this drug for male pattern baldness and maintaining their level of hair growth is dependent on taking the drug, it means that a man will be using this medication perhaps for decades.

Just what are the side effects of Propecia after decades of use? Since it was only approved in 1998 no one can say.

In conclusion: While Propecia side effects may seem almost inconsequential from the information currently available, a young man who uses it for life may have to deal with more serious consequences in the future.

Vintage Shiny Brite Christmas Ornaments - Max Eckardt's Shiny ...


An American businessman named Max Eckardt introduced Christmas tree decorations imported from Germany to the US around 1907. The ornaments consisted mostly of small hand-blown glass balls that were colorfully decorated. Late in the 1930s though, it was plain to Eckardt that the oncoming war was going to disrupt his supplies. So he made a business arrangement with the Corning Glass Company that got them started on Christmas ornament production in their light bulb plants. Corning started making the glass ornaments after adapting their own light bulb manufacturing process and proceeded to ship ornaments to both Woolworth's stores and to Eckardt's factories where the plain ornaments could be further adorned by hand after being machine-lacquered.

As the wartime shortages increased, making both lacquer and silver difficult to come by, Eckardt started having the ornaments decorated in pastels and bright colors. As a result, Shiny Brite ornaments became very popular because of their uniqueness and soon become a staple of every family's Christmas trees. By the end of the war, Shiny Brite was the largest manufacturer of Christmas ornaments in the world and the popularity of the ornaments raged on into the 1950s.

Shiny Brite stopped making and selling the glass balls in 1962 because of production disruption and because of the changing business landscape and moved into the production of plastic ornaments, which never proved to be as popular. But now that we are in the 21st century, demand for the original vintage glass ornaments has shot up and you'll find many "Shiny Brite" ornaments all over Ebay.

One thing to keep in mind though when shopping on Ebay for these ornaments is that many sellers and buyers seem to think that "Shiny Brite" refers to a type of ornament rather than a specific brand name. So if you are looking specifically for ornaments made by Max Eckardt's company, you might want to do a little digging into the auctions.

In addition to the vintage Shiny Brite Christmas ornaments available at antique shops, flea markets and online, Christopher Radko started making reproductions of the ornaments around 2001 and you'll find those on Ebay as well. Generally though you don't have to worry about the Radko reproductions being passed off as the vintage ornaments because Radko's ornaments are collectible in their own right. Also, Radko's ornaments are made in Europe and all of the original Shiny Brite's were of American manufacture.

The Secret You Don't Know About Free Medicine from Pharmaceutical ...


Medical insurance costs are skyrocketing and many places of employment no longer supply medical insurance without a major dip into your pocketbook. The impact of under-insured or uninsured Americans and senior citizens are taking a toll on households across U.S.

I have been without insurance. At one time I had to purchase medicine with a price tag of over $1,900 a month. Because of that time, I was inspired to find out what I could do to help defray the cost of the medicine.

What I discovered is one of the best kept secrets in the medical industry. The secret is that pharmaceutical companies and major pharmaceutical company sponsors provide free prescription medicines to individuals and families that qualify.

For those individuals and families who can’t afford the cost of or the co-payment their prescription medications require, help has been around for years. The first step is to find out who manufactures the prescriptions you are taking.

Once you know the manufacturer, go to their website and download their application or apply online for their program. Some of the pharmaceutical websites and pharmaceutical company sponsors have websites that have the program information easily available.

Other websites you will have to search to find the program. Once you either fill out their application online or downloaded the application, you will in most cases need to get a signed consent form from your doctor to fax or send to the company. Every program has different rules and procedures.

Please take advantage of this opportunity to help you, your family and friend defray a bit of the medical costs from your budget.

Caffeine Caused Anxiety Attacks


Since the dawning of the "Information Age" in the early 1980's the pace of change has accelerated in our society. To keep pace with the explosion of new information and this rapid rate of change, many people have adopted a new coping strategy of increasing their consumption of caffeine. Caffeine is a drug. It is a stimulant which increases many of same physiological responses as the survival response known as the "Flight-Fight" response. It is this reaction by the body to the stimulation from caffeine that can trigger an anxiety-type physical reaction. Many people are unsuspecting and naпve regarding the full extent of this response to which often includes a common, and even, celebrated "rush" of energy. Knowing about this response can keep you from being a victim to caffeine related anxiety attacks.

As a stimulant, the effect of caffeine can be different from one person to the next. The amount of caffeine consumed, and then the amount actually absorbed by the body, can contribute to the range of reactions. It is not uncommon for caffeine to cause an increase in brain wave activity that can arouse a tired mind. This is the most desired response for many sleep deprived people. This can backfire on many people who may have a daylong response to their morning coffee (or other caffeine source) because many people can not sleep well at bedtime as a response to this early caffeine consumption. This "vicious cycle" will then cause poor quality sleep/rest which requires more caffeine to get "up" for the next day's activities.

The stimulation caused by caffeine can also increase heart rate and for some people increase their blood pressure as it simulates the release of excitatory hormones like adrenaline (epinephrine.) This rapid heart rate, when severe, can scare people, triggering the hormonal release which can cause a greater anxiety reaction. The frightening response to the physical associations of an anxiety attack can cause fear and can even drive people to the emergency rooms with the concern that the patient believes that they going to die from a heart attack. We have enough anxiety in our society without pushing ourselves over the edge with the stimulation of caffeine.

Caffeine can cause an increase in skeletal muscle tension as it triggers the classic flight response. This muscle tension can be distracting (loss of focus), cause fatigue, and in many cases increase the likelihood of increased muscle spasms and so, muscle contraction pain. In this way, caffeine can contribute to muscle tension headaches from the tightness of muscles in the jaw, neck, and shoulders. For people suffering from chronic muscular tension pain, this can contribute to their tension and pain. It will often cause an increased anxiety driven response to their pain which can intensify their chronic pain complaints. This is especially true for lower back pain and neck/shoulder pain, as well as the peripheral pains in the arms and legs that can be associated with back pain.

For those of you who use caffeine regularly, you should also know that there are plenty of cases of physical and psychological addiction to this drug. Many people feel withdrawal symptoms that are not comfortable when they try to discontinue their caffeine habit. If you want to discontinue, the best way to do this would be gradually over time. Substituting Ѕ de-caf into your morning coffee and minimizing other caffeine laden products will be helpful. Be patient and drink extra water!

In its defense, caffeine can be helpful for some types of headaches such as migraine headaches which can be reduced by caffeine or associated cafergot. (Cafergot is a brand name of the combination of ergotamine and caffeine.) With its stimulating effects on the digestive system, caffeine may also work as a laxative to minimize problems with constipation. Historically, European coffee "salons" were places where intellectuals could meet and have lively discussions while drinking brewed coffee which was more healthful than the untreated available water which was often contaminated with deadly diseases of the Middle Ages. The other alternative beverage for most Middle Age Europeans was to drink beer or alcoholic drinks which did not encourage good discussion, thinking, or productivity.

Since the 1980's, our society has seen an explosion of coffee houses and Expresso stands. You can not get through any American city with being confronted by easily accessible purveyors of liquid coffee refreshments. Both young and old are caught in this "glamorous" habit with expanding zeal. A gift of choice is the insidious gift certificate for the expensive coffee houses. This has gotten to be big business.

Besides coffee or expresso drinks, caffeine is found in many products. Black teas, green tea, soft drinks, chocolate candy, and as an additive in many other products are but a few of these additional sources for caffeine. There are even a few products with commercial names like: Jolt, Red Bull, and RockStar that cater to the young caffeine crazed generation that seem to require higher concentrations of caffeine. I do not want to deprive people from indulging in these products, but people must be aware of what the effects of these products can do to their body's and to people who interact with caffeine saturated folks. Many cases of "road rage" may be traced to the negative effects of over-caffeinated, stressed drivers.

Let's have some common sense. Moderation is a great rule to follow, especially if you are one the people who are most sensitive to the effects of caffeine. Coffee businesses are not bad or the enemy, we just need to learn how use them in most appropriate ways.

Weight Loss - Ways You Can Lose Weight Naturally and Easily


1. Portions - Portion control is possibly one of the most effective ways to lose

weight fast and without frustration. Reduce your portions - just eat half of what

is on your plate, either at home or in a restaurant and keep the remainder for

next time.

2. Go meatless - Take meat off the menu for a few meals during the week.

Substitute with soy proteins or legumes or kidney beans. Even mushrooms like

portobello are great burger substitutes. Try veggie burgers and falafel.

3. Spicy food - Spiking your food with spices not only makes them tastier but

healthier as well. Furthermore spices like hot peppers have been shown to raise

the metabolic rate by almost 50% for a few hours after meals.

4. Everyday exercise - Take the stairs whenever possible. Park your car furthest

from the store. Take a walk to the water cooler once every hour (you'll also get 8

cups of water that way!). Stretch whenever possible - whether standing or sitting.

Even standing straight for 5-10 minutes against the wall helps.

5. Drink water - Drinking adequate water helps to detoxify the body, encourages

metabolism and also keeps hunger pangs at bay.

6. Alternative dinners - Try having cereal & milk for dinner ...or pita &

hummus...or fruit & yogurt or a big meatless salad. Anything that is light yet

filling.

like Ayurslim. It is a totally herbal composition of herbs like Garcinia, Gymnema,

Guggul, Haritaki, Medhika - all proven fat burning, cholesterol lowering & glucose

Fosamax Lawyer & Fosamax Attorneys for Osteoporosis Drug Lawsuits


Fosamax is a medication created to help osteoporosis, a bone disease which generally affects postmenopausal women in the United States. Fosamax is used by both men and women to treat the disease. It can be taken orally in either a pill or fluid format, and is generally consumed on an empty stomach.

The drug is used in aid of rebuilding and fortifying weak bones so that the person can avoid debilitating and harmful fractures of the bones. This little tablet helps control Paget’s disease and osteoporosis, but unfortunately it cannot prevent or cure them.

It’s unfortunate, but medication like Fosamax can cause serious complications for its users. Just like other osteoporosis dugs, Fosamax will cause severe gastrointestinal problems such as nausea and constipation. In rare instances, Fosamax can even result in Osteonecrosis of the jaw (or ‘dead jaw’) and harm one’s ability to eat, swallow and speak.

The pharmaceutical industry has developed and marketed numerous amounts of medications to prevent and treat these conditions, but unfortunately all of these drugs have severe side effects. Because the medications alter basic bodily functions so dramatically, the consequences of taking these medications can be sometimes be awful. Additional side effects can often include sleeplessness, nausea and fatigue.

If you or a loved one has been harmed by the use of osteoporosis medication such as Fosamax then you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries. It’s important that you call an experienced and knowledgeable osteoporosis drug attorney today.

Does Differin Gel Really Work To Clear Acne?


So, you have a case of acne on your skin and you’ve tried a whole lot of home remedies and other things such as over the counter pharmaceutical drugs that cost a whole lot of your money and none of them actually worked. You are now wondering if there is a real treatment out there that can actually clear up your acne. Someone now mentions a treatment called differin gel to you and they claim that it really works and that you should try it out for yourself. The first thing that comes to your mind is, this must be another acne medication that claims to get rid of your acne and does not deliver any results. You really hate your acne and want a way to get rid of it but you don’t want to waste your money again, now what do you do?

You should understand what differin is first before you can really comment on the product. Differin is a trademark name for an acne vulgaris medication which is made by Gladerma Laboratories. The active ingredient used in differin gel is adapalene, it is available in a 45g and 35g tube and both of them contain 0.1% adapalene which is a retinoid like compound, used as the active ingredient.

Differin gel works by modulating the skin cell growth and differentiation and therefore results in the regulation of oil production and reducing acne over a long period of time. The product contains both an exfoliant and a compound that is an anti inflammatory. Studies have shown that differin gel is most effective when used on non-inflamed acne. The product will give a lot better results if a benzoyl peroxide wash is used in the morning and in the night along with benzoyl peroxide lotion being applied in the morning only and the differin gel used at night only.

As far as if differin gel really works to clear up acne the answer would have to be yes, however you should be aware it may take a long period of time to work but it does clear up the acne. A lot of people may say that differin gel worked for them and others may say that it does not work but you have to keep in mind that everyone is different. It may be that differin gel may work faster on some than on others, so if you find that you and your friend are both using the product and your friend’s acne has already started to clear up and yours has not give it some more time before you say that the product does not work.

Medicines Used in the Treatment of Gout


There is very little medical evidence to conclusively prove the efficacy of the drugs that are prevalent in the treatment of gout. The condition is usually dealt with the use of steroids or common anti-inflammatory medicines. However, if left untreated, gout can lead to further complications like kidney stone and permanent immovability of joints. The disease may also spread to other joints of the body.

General hyper-uricaemia, or more than normal level of uric acid in bloodstream, is asymptomatic and treatment with prescription-medicines is not advisable. Only in cases of severe gout attacks and other related complications like kidney stones, traditional medicines applicable for gout treatment should be used. No medicine should ever be resorted to prior to seeking counsel of qualified medical practitioners. These medicines have far-reaching side effects and may cause irreparable damage to the organs of the body. Hence the use of these drugs should be limited to extreme cases of gout only.

On the other hand, GC can be utilized by both gout sufferers and individuals having high levels of uric acid in heir blood. GC is comparatively safe in that it has only positive side effects; it benefits patients of type 2 diabetes by lowering their insulin needs.

The other medicines that are commonly employed include:

Allopurinol (Zyloprim) this is a prescription drug that hinders the synthesis of uric acid. Possible side effects include eruptions on skin, inflammation of blood vessels and toxicity of the liver. Liver function tests and blood counts should be conducted periodically on patients under allopurinol treatment.

Colchicine is employed in reducing gout attacks. However, faulty doses can be fatal. Stomach problems like spasms, queasiness, or diarrhea are possible side effects. Serious anemia and alarmingly loe leucocyte count can also occur, along with muscle inflammation and disorders of the bone marrow, in extreme cases. Patients suffering from kidney problems should not use this medicine.

Indomethacin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) – the current treatment of choice for alleviating gout attacks. Interim use of this drug does not cause any noteworthy toxicity.

Prednisone administration in gout is becoming widespread these days. This medicine is immunosuppressive and serious side effects may include cataract, thinning of the bone, osteoporosis and overall decrease in immunity. Acid reflux, sodium retention acne, night sweats, hyperglycemia are commonly reported side effects. Thrush, or yeast growth, may occur in the mouth, indicating the replenishment of beneficial bacteria in the body that help in combating infections.

All these medications actually target the specific symptoms of the gout, but the root cause of this affliction remains untreated.

Is Crestor The Magic Treatment For Diabetes?


Previous studies conducted in United States have shown that patients with Type-2 diabetes and high bad cholesterol level are 3 or 4 times more likely to die from heart attack or stroke. Watching what to eat and having plenty of exercise are keys to help people reduce their bad cholesterol level. If one does all these but still fails to reduce the bad cholesterol level, he or she is advised to seek help from doctors for prescribed medication.

In 2004, the results of a 26-week study released at an international meeting of cardiovascular specialists in Spain showed that Crestor (rosuvastatin) is more effective than any other in reducing the bad cholesterol level in patients with Type-2 diabetes. The study compared rosuvastatin with another statin, atorvastatin (available under the brand Lipitor). Earlier studies had also shown that 10 mg of rosuvastatin is more potent than 10 mg of atorvastatin.

Many diabetic patients were aware of their conditions but still had high levels of bad cholesterol. Despite they were treated and monitored for diabetes and glucose control, the cholesterol remained outside the desirable range. Perhaps doctors have to be more aggressive in getting all diabetic patients at the desirable cholesterol target with the help of appropriate medication like Crestor.

Crestor is usually prescribed along with diet to lower cholesterol. It is known that taking 10 mg of Crestor along with diet can actually lower bad cholesterol by up to 52 percent. Meanwhile, it can also raise the good cholesterol level by up to 14 percent. Nevertheless, results may vary among patients.

There is no doubt that lowering of bad cholesterol level and well-controlled diabetic conditions may help reduce the risk of developing heart disease, Crestor has not been determined to prevent heart disease, heart attacks, or strokes.

Not everyone is suitable to take Crestor. Women who are nursing, pregnant, or who may become pregnant or anyone with liver problems should not use Crestor. In fact, before and during treatment with Crestor, you should ask your doctor to do blood tests to monitor your liver condition. Patients should inform their doctor if they are taking any medication.

Patients may encounter side effects. Unexplained muscle pain and weakness are considered as a rare but serious side effect. If patients do experience this, they should report to their doctors immediately. Other infrequent side effects such as muscle aches, nausea, abdominal pain, constipation and weakness are usually mild and tend to go away after a short period of time.

Common Crohn's Disease Medications


Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory disease that primarily affects the small and large intestine, but can be present in other parts of the digestive tract. The disease was named after an American gastroenterologist, Burrill Crohn, who was the first to describe the disease.

Crohn’s disease usually affects people in their teens or twenties, but there are cases where patients are struck with the disease later in life. The symptoms and severity of the disease vary from person to person.

At present, there are no medications that can cure Crohn’s disease. Most patients experience periods of relapse followed by periods of remission that can last months or even years. During remissions the symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea and rectal bleeding are lessened. The improvements in symptoms are usually brought about by prescription medications or surgery. There are cases, where without treatment, the Crohn’s goes into remission. No one knows why.

The goals of treatment are to bring about a remission, maintain it, minimize side effects from medications, and help to improve the overall quality of life of the patient. The medications for treating Crohn's disease include anti-inflammatory agents such as the 5ASA compounds, corticosteroids, topical antibiotics and immuno-modulators.

Crohn’s Disease Medications

Crohn’s disease medications include anti-inflammatory drugs that are intended to decrease intestinal inflammation; the way arthritis medications reduce joint inflammation. The different types of anti-inflammatory medications used to treat Crohn’s disease are:

1. 5-ASA compounds such as sulfasalazine (Azulfidine) and mesalamine (Pentasa, Asacol, Dipentum, Colazal, Rowana enema, Canasa suppository) are used directly on the inflamed tissue.

Sulfasalazine is a prodrug that isn’t active in its ingested form. It is usually broken down by bacteria in the colon to create two byproducts —5aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) and sulfapyridine. No one is sure which of these byproducts is responsible for the activity of azulfidine. The 5-ASA is known for its therapeutic benefit, though it’s not clear whether sulfapyridine offers any additional benefit.

5 aminosalicylic acid and sulfapyridine work as anti-inflammatory agents that treat the inflammation in the colon. The effectiveness is believed to be due to the local effect on the bowel, however there are also some beneficial systemic immune suppressant effects as well.

But like any medications 5-ASA is not without side effects. Some of the side effects are very frequent gastrointestinal disturbances. Nausea, vomiting, gastric distress and anorexia occur in about one out of every three patients. Likewise dizziness may also occur during but should be of little concern unless it becomes persistent.

There are also some less common side effects such as a drop in white blood cell counts or a type of anemia that happens more often in patients with arthritis. The chance of developing these side effects is about 6 out of every 10,000 patients. Some other rare, but possible side effects include fever, pale skin, sore throat, fatigue and unusual bleeding or bruising. If you experience any of these, you will likely be taken off the medication.

Additional side effects include headache, allergic reactions and photosensitivity. These side effects require medical attention since allergic reactions can cause difficulty swallowing, blistering, peeling, loosening of the skin, aching joints and muscles as well as unusual tiredness or weakness.

2. Corticosteroids act systematically without requiring direct contact with the inflamed tissue. These medications are used to decrease inflammation throughout the body. These drugs also have important, and dangerous side effects, if taken for long periods. You doctor can advise you best on this.

There are new classes of topical corticosteroids that are applied directly to the inflamed tissue. These new drugs have much fewer side effects compared to systematic corticosteroids.

3. Antibiotics such as metronidazole (Flagyl) and ciprofloxacin (Cipro). These medications decrease inflammation by unknown mechanisms.

Metronidazole is effective in killing anaerobic bacteria as well as certain parasites. Anaerobic bacteria is single a cell organism that lives in low oxygen environments, and causes disease in the abdomen, liver and pelvis. In terms of parasites, giardia lamblia and ameba are parasites that cause abdominal pain and severe diarrhea in most patients. The metronidazole blocks some of the cell functions of these parasites resulting in their demise.

Serious side effects of metronidazole are rare, but include seizures and damage to nerves that brings numbness as well as tingling in the extremities. If you have these side effects, contact your doctor at once, you’ll need to stop taking this medication.

If you suspect you have Crohn’s disease, you should first consult your primary care physician before taking other steps. Careful diagnosis and monitoring are the key to living comfortably with Crohn’s.
