Antidepressants should list new risks-US FDA

WASHINGTON - Information about risks to newborns and migraine sufferers linked to some of the world's most widely used antidepressants should be added to the drug labels, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Wednesday.

The FDA warned that taking antidepressants known as SSRIs -- including Prozac and Zoloft -- or certain SNRIs in combination with migraine drugs known as triptans could result in a life-threatening condition called serotonin syndrome. It also warned consumers about the risk of a fatal lung condition in newborns whose mothers took SSRIs during pregnancy. The agency added it was seeking more information about persistent pulmonary hypertension in newborns following exposure to these drugs. The agency asked drug makers to list the potential risks on their drug labels.

SSRIs, or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, include GlaxoSmithKline Plc's Paxil, Eli Lilly and Co's Prozac, Pfizer Inc's Zoloft and Symbyax, Forest Laboratories Inc's Celexa and Lexapro, and Solvay Pharmaceutical's Luvox, which is also sold generically as fluvoxamine.

The SNRIs, or selective serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, cited by the FDA are Lilly's drug Cymbalta and Wyeth's Effexor.

Triptan migraine drugs include Glaxo's Imitrex and Amerge, Johnson & Johnson's Axert, Endo Pharmaceutical's Frova, Merck and Co Inc's Maxalt, Pfizer's Relpax and AstraZeneca Plc's Zomig.

The agency advised patients to talk to their doctors about deciding whether to continue taking the drugs.

Vaccination key to controlling bird flu: UK report

LONDON - Britain should opt to vaccinate poultry rather than slaughter flocks in order to tackle the threat of the lethal H5N1 strain of bird flu, according to a report issued on Wednesday by an organic research centre.

"Bio-security measures are an essential element of any strategy but the slaughter element is as outdated as British imperialism," the Elm Farm Research Centre said in a report. "A truly rational government would acknowledge that preventive vaccination is the most effective method of combating avian influenza in the modern world and would now be preparing to vaccinate all outdoor and organic flocks," the report added.

Britain's farm ministry has raised concerns about bird flu vaccines for poultry, arguing they can mask the effects of the disease and make it more difficult to tackle its spread among the poultry population.

The Soil Association, Britain's organic certification body, distanced itself from the report, issuing a statement supporting "strategic" but "not preventative" use of vaccination. It backs vaccination only under limited circumstances, such as if culling fails to control the disease or if the virus becomes endemic in Britain's wild birds. Last week Britain's farm ministry issued a tender for 10 million doses of bird flu vaccine while stating its policy had not changed and it would not vaccinate poultry in advance of a bird flu outbreak. The ministry said the move was part of "sensible contingency planning in the light of uncertainties relating to the future spread and nature of the virus."

Britain currently plans to house all birds for a limited period in areas where the bird flu virus has been found and slaughter affected flocks. If the disease became endemic in an area, flocks could be kept indoors indefinitely.

This is an apparent willingness amongst politicians and officials to ignore animal welfare by permanently housing outdoor birds thereby destroying the free-range and organic markets in an attempt to maintain an outmoded disease free status for the nation," the report said.

The European Union has allowed Europe's two largest poultry producers, France and the Netherlands, to vaccinate hens, ducks and geese against H5N1. Very few producers have, however, taken up the option.

There has been only one confirmed case of the H5N1 strain in Britain in a wild swan, found dead in early April. There have been no cases yet in domestic poultry.

H5N1 has, however, spread rapidly since late 2003 from Asia to Europe and Africa with outbreaks confirmed in more than 48 countries and territories, according to data from the World Organisation of Animal Health.

 

Common bacteria linked to circulatory disease

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Infection by Helicobacter pylori, a bacteria associated with peptic ulcers and gastric cancer, also appears to increase the risk of diseases of the circulation, also referred to as "vascular disease," according to an analysis by Italian researchers.

Lead investigator Dr. Vincenzo Pasceri told Reuters Health that "clinical studies on the association between H. pylori and vascular diseases have produced conflicting results. While some studies have shown a significant association, these results have not been confirmed in others.

In the June issue of the American Heart Journal, Pasceri of San Filippo Neri Hospital, Rome, and colleagues report on their review of 17 studies that looked at the role of cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA)-positive strains of H. pylori in patients with vascular disease of the heart and brain. More than 6,000 patients were included.

Overall, 13 studies found a statistically significant relationship between positive strains of CagA and heart disease. However, this relationship was not seen in CagA-negative strains. In 4 other studies, there was a significant association between brain disease and CagA-positive strains of H. pylori and, again, no association with negative strains.Infection with CagA-positive H. pylori strains is associated with a modest but significant risk of vascular heart disease, continued Dr. Pasceri.

"Even a modest increase in cardiovascular risk may have great clinical importance," he concluded, "since chronic infection by virulent strains of H. pylori may be present in 20 percent to 40 percent of the population in Western countries."
