Code Red: Arthritis Drug Now Linked to Fatal Liver Failure
Popular rheumatoid arthritis drug Arava just got a new black-box warning: It may just kill you.
Turns out that this FDA-approved drug has been killing people for eight years! In fact, 14 people suffered fatal liver failure between August 2002 and May 2009 (and who knows how many since).
And that’s just the people who died – there were also many cases of severe liver injury, bad enough to require hospitalization.
Bottom line: If you take Arava for your RA symptoms, talk to your doctor about getting off this dangerous drug before it kills you.
