HIV drug causes liver damage admits FDA
This article is about the HIV drug videx that was sold generically as didanosine and it could cause fatal liver problems.The agency has received atleast 42adverse events that links to Videx which has been delayed to the newer version which is Videx EC to a rare liver disorder.In four of the cases patients have died from liver failure and sever bleeding.There were only three patiend that had actually recovered from this.The FDA had stated that the benefits of the HIV patients still outweighs the risks and that the patients have to be monitored real closely.The Videx has approved since 1991 and then the delayed version was approved in 2000 and the drug is a type of antiretroviral drug that is known as nucleoside analogue that slows down the prolferation of HIV.
My opinion of this article is that it tells you all of the main points about the HIV drug that causes liver damage.That is why you should keep your body straight and dont damage it.You only get one liver so you have to try not to damage it.So when you go to the doctors that is what they check when go and get a physical .So i advise people who are out there screwing around to read this article.
