Health Daily Tips

It would be wonderful if life could always be fair. We could plan our future, confident we would always get our just deserts. Unfortunately, the world can be uncaring, if not actually cruel. No matter how carefully we plan for the best outcomes, there’s always a chance for things to go wrong. Worse, even if everything goes right, we can end up the victims of jealousy or even hate for our success. Whether it’s at school or in the workplace, people can seize on the smallest things as justifications for treating us badly. It should not be this way, but even the way our body works can end up a trap. We can grow too tall or put on too much weight. We can be too pretty or have a physical disability.

One of the most common excuses for wanton cruelty is acne. As the hormones kick in, the majority of children and young adults find themselves the victims of abuse. Twenty or thirty years ago, this was mostly a problem for teens. Now it’s affecting younger children and lasting longer. That this is unfair could not be clearer. Everyone has the same bacteria growing on their skins and so has the same chance of suffering acne. Yet, no matter who shows the first signs, the others are always waiting to sniff the air to detect body odor and hint at the unwillingness to wash or make even more unkind suggestions for the cause of the emerging spots. At a time when most people lack self-confidence, these personal attacks are extremely hurtful and many suffer psychological damage.

It would be good if acne was a one-time event. We could put the trauma behind us and get on with our lives. But several million women are now discovering acne can return as they pass through the menopause. It should not be unexpected because the same hormonal changes that cause acne during puberty are repeating themselves. As it stands, the medical profession has been slow to respond and so the cosmetics industry has been making excessive profits with products to clean the skin and cover up the spots. For better or worse, our society has placed a burden on women to appear perfect, no matter what their age. So what action should the older woman take? It starts with the use of exfoliates. During and after menopause, skin erosion grows more uneven and so it’s always better to gently remove the epidermis or outer layer of skin to produce a more even appearance and clean out the pores. In turn, this helps control the acne. But only use the most gentle products to avoid drying out the skin. If this is not effective, you can move up to a retinoid cream. Should the menopause continue, using an oral contraceptive will usually calm down the hormone production.

Should all these simple steps fail, Accutane remains as the ultimate cure. Always remember pregnancy must be avoided at all costs so, if you are still sexually active and able to conceive, you must take comprehensive steps to prevent conception. As an older woman, you are in a high risk category for babies with birth defects. Use Accutane and birth defects become a certainty. Take advice before using this drug.

In theory, everyone is the same except, obviously, they are not. Let’s start with age. Seniors may be physically active but, look inside, and you will find their liver and kidneys are not working as well as in days gone by. This means it takes longer for impurities to be filtered out of the blood. For these purposes, drugs are impurities. So, when an older person takes any medication, it’s processed through the stomach into the bloodstream and then circulates for longer. This means an older patient must either take a smaller dose or the time between doses must be longer. If such simple steps are not taken, it’s easy for older people to have peaks of drug concentration close to overdose levels. Adverse side effects are more common.

At the other end of the age scale, most drugs are not tested on children and young adults. It’s not considered ethical to expose underdeveloped human bodies to the risk of injury unless there’s a clearly identified need. As a result, doctors are often left guessing whether to risk prescribing drugs and opting for the lowest possible doses. Now we come to the politically incorrect question of body weight. Without getting into the speed of your body’s metabolism, thin people should receive smaller dose than those carrying more weight. Doctors often use a formula relating grams to pounds of weight.

A further difficulty is that pain is very subjective. Some people seem to be able to accept levels of discomfort that would have others rolling on the floor in agony. This is partly physical and partly psychological. As we grow up, we learn from our parents and peers how we are supposed to react when injured. Boys are supposed to be tough. It’s OK for girls to cry. Stereotypes are difficult to shake. This makes it very difficult to assess how much pain anyone is feeling. All a doctor can do is ask and try to place the answer on a scale of 1 to 10 where 10 is the worst pain imaginable. The louder the complaint, the higher the dose or the stronger the drug. For the doctor, it’s all trial and error until the patient admits to feeling less pain. Against this background, it’s interesting to see some new research into using a new technique on an MRI scanner to measure pain. Arterial spin seems to show changes in the parts of the brain associated with pain. If this research can map the brain to show more precisely which part of the brain to monitor, it may be possible to produce a more objective method for measuring pain.

This would have immediate benefits for the patient, always giving the right dose. It would also be good for society because it would reduce the risk of drug abuse. As it is, patients who are developing a dependence can exaggerate their reports of pain and get additional tablets to feed their habit. This is less of a problem for drugs like Tramadol which are significantly less addictive than the opiates. But even Tramadol can be abused if people take it for too long at too high a dosage. No matter what the diagnosis, it’s always better to have the right dosage for your age and physical size.

Every time we come to elections, you probably notice how attorneys are suddenly being debated. The GOP claims they are the spawn of the Devil. Their sole purpose in life is to put all businesses into an early grave. The theme is simple. Every mistake can be evidence of negligence and, without tort reform, we will all suffer. The Democrats sing the song that attorneys are the only thing standing between consumers and predatory businesses. This highlights two quite separate but important problems. First, we have become a very litigious society. If anything goes wrong and we have the money (or are insured), the first reaction to any loss is to blame others and sue them. Consequently, we have one of the most active court systems in the world. Second, there’s a real shortage of adequate laws to protect consumers. This encourages everyone to sue using the law of tort and there we get into long-running cases where attorneys make a lot of money.

Let’s move over to New Jersey where a case has just finished against Roche for their acne treatment. Three claims were heard together. They alleged the drug had caused serious ulcerative colitis. You probably read about this because several Hollywood celebrities were involved as plaintiff and witnesses. The result was a 2 to 1 win for Roche with two of the claims being dismissed by the jury. In reporting this, we can gloss over the fact there are some three-thousand similar claims outstanding. There’s a bandwagon effect. Once word goes around that there’s one claim, other plaintiffs suddenly appear. No matter what the merits of these claims, there are some instructive lessons from other countries.

In Europe, only a qualified dermatologist can prescribe this drug, and he or she is directly responsible for monitoring the progress of the treatment. Patients are usually required to attend the clinic or hospital once a month for a check-up. This ensures a lower risk the drug will be abused by the patients. There’s evidence US patients want the cure now and not tomorrow, so they decide to increase the dosage or extend the period of treatment. Without proper supervision, the drug can therefore cause more damage. The fact there are warnings in the literature given out with every prescription is not helpful. Few people ever read them from start to finish. In New Zealand, there’s very clear research evidence showing low dosages are safe and effective. Such evidence is unlikely to affect the behavior of our teens who are determined to have perfect skin no matter what the cost.

There are always risks of adverse side effects when people abuse drugs. Accutane is a powerful drug and it can damage your body if you take too high a dose or take the recommended dose for too long. Unfortunately, we blame others when we injure ourselves. The fact Roche gives a warning about intestinal and bowel risks is brushed aside. We should only be limited in our claims if the manufacturer can show we actually knew of the risks. Now you see why the GOP thinks attorneys should be locked away. They confuse a simple truth. Accutane is safe so long as you follow the rules.

There are times when life put you to hard choices. Yes, it’s unfair. But no one said life had to be fair. Let’s take the second worst thing that can happen to a man. You start noticing there’s more hair than usual getting caught up in the drain to the shower. You look suspiciously in the mirror. Is that? Could that be? You ask family who never really look at each other unless someone asks. They think you might be starting to lose your hair. You protest you’re only thirty-something. They smile understandingly, laugh until they see your expression, offer fake sympathy and lend you a baseball cap. So you do a little research and discover there are apparently some hair loss drugs that actually work. The FDA has given its approval so that must mean something. It’s strange the best should be a treatment to slow down growths in the prostate but, if it works, who cares. You look vaguely at the piece of paper with the small print that comes with these little tablets. It says this is a safe treatment with little risk.

Several months later, you begin to experience erectile dysfunction. This has never happened before. You wonder whether this could be a side effect of the hair loss drug. Surely this would be mentioned in the small print if it was a problem. Your hair loss seems to have stopped. You’re not sure what to do. Eventually, you ask a doctor. The advice is clear. Stop taking the drug. You are lucky. You asked the question early. Men who keep going with the hair loss drug can find the erectile dysfunction becomes a more permanent problem even when they stop. How do we know this?

In 2006, the Swedish medical regulators began investigating reports of erectile dysfunction. As a result of this initial work, more European countries have been gathering evidence and the manufacturer has been forced to change its labels to include a very clear warning that the erectile dysfunction may continue even though the use of the drug is stopped. This gives all men a better chance of deciding which is more important in their lives. Perhaps it should not surprise us the FDA has not been investigating and the manufacturer has not changed the label in the US. As a result, a number of men have now begun legal action, claiming their lives have been destroyed because their erectile dysfunction has become permanent.

All of which brings us to another myth. There are limits to the power of Cialis and the other erectile dysfunction drugs. They cannot cure all cases of erectile dysfunction. In this case, the damage caused by the hair loss drug is so severe, there’s no help for the men affected. What make this case so hard is the failure of the FDA to follow the lead of the European regulators in forcing a warning on to the label. Perhaps we have become used to the FDA bowing down to Big Pharma and take no notice of yet another instance of people being injured unnecessarily by drugs approved by the FDA. If you have been taking this drug and now have the first signs of erectile dysfunction, stop immediately and start using Cialis. Hopefully, your erections will return.
