The U. S. Food and Drug Administration has issued warning letters to more than 300 manufacturers of medications that contain the active ingredients of NEXIUM, one of the most widely prescribed pain relief.
The letters have caused the FDA to issue more than 3,000 alerts about the risks of taking Nexium or other NSAID medications. The FDA also issued warnings about the safety of the use of Nexium and related products.
The letters, which are still under review, are based on a study that found that Nexium users are 40 percent more likely to die from heart disease than non-users, the FDA said.
In addition to the warnings and the research, the FDA has also issued several additional letters to manufacturers of products containing the active ingredients of the prescription medications.
The letters also include a warning about the increased risk of cardiovascular events, including the risk of sudden death and stroke, and an explanation for the increased risk of heart attack in people taking the prescription NSAIDs. The letters also include a statement that the FDA should be making additional changes to the labels of all prescription NSAID medications.
The FDA issued the warnings for all nonprescription NSAIDs because of the increased risk of heart attack and stroke. The FDA also said it was concerned that patients taking NSAIDs in doses exceeding the recommended limits may be at higher risk of heart attacks and strokes.
The letters are being addressed to all manufacturers of all prescription NSAID medications. Consumers can read the letter's full text or download a copy of the letter directly from the manufacturer's website.
Nexium and related products also contain the active ingredients of prescription NSAIDs such as (Esomeprazole) and (Naproxen).
The FDA says the labels of the prescription NSAID medications will be revised based on the new information from the manufacturers.
The FDA has issued a voluntary recall of the U. market for NEXIUM. The company said in a statement: "Nexium has been recalled from sale, including in Puerto Rico, for having a negative impact on the quality and efficacy of the U. market for this drug."
The companies that have sold their products also have an expiration date on the drug and a warning about the risk of adverse events related to NSAID use.
