		<description><![CDATA[Dentists have been in the forefront of identifying a severe complication of Fosamax, the osteoporosis drug widely prescribed to prevent fractures. The January issue of the <em>Journal of the American Dental Association </em>published a study describing a significant risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw from even <em>oral use </em>of Fosamax. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=2058&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For over a half century, millions of Americans with common heart valve problems, such as mitral-value prolapse, were told to start taking preventive antibiotics prior to undergoing routine dental procedures. To ignore this standard recommendation is to risk a potentially life-threatening case of bacterial endocarditis triggered by the dental procedure. Or so went a widely held belief that has been revised recently by the American Heart Association.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=1116&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Daily aspirin protects the heart, but the dose at which this can be safely accomplished has never been established. It has long been known that the risks of aspirin—gastrointestinal or brain hemorrhage—cannot be completely eliminated even at the lowest possible doses.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=1072&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People with heart valve problems are told to take antibiotics before certain dental procedures in order to prevent bacterial endocarditis. This disease can be triggered by bacteria disrupted by tooth scaling, dental implantation, and other invasive procedures. The bacteria goes into the bloodstream and become lodged in the innermost layers of the damaged heart valves. It is potentially fatal and can be well underway before symptoms ever appear. To treat after the fact might very well be too late. But antibiotic therapy in itself can cause harm.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=940&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
