FDA pain reliever dangers

By Julie Schmit and Julie Appleby, USA TODAY

Non-prescription pain relievers used by millions of U.S. consumers need stronger health warnings regarding liver or stomach risk, the Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday.

The drugs include some of the most commonly taken in the USA — aspirin, ibuprofen and acetaminophen — and will affect such household brands as Motrin, Advil, Aleve and Tylenol.

While some manufacturers already note the health risks on packages, the FDA wants the warnings to be more specific, standardized and prominent. New labels aren’t likely to be required for at least a year, but companies can do so sooner.  The Rest of the story click link at top.

Nature Sunshine – Natural Pain Relievers: Some studies have shown daily use of vitamin E to be more protective than aspirin for prevention of heart attacks, with no harmful side effects.  The misuse of aspirin, in contrast, causes or contributes to an estimated 3,000 + deaths in the United States each year.

Natural sources of vitamin E are better than synthetic vitamin E,  Natural is listed as d-alpha-tocopherol; watch out for the l after the d, dl-alpha-tocopherol is synthetic and costs only about half as much as the d form.
