  8. #Evidence that #statins are safer than thought. Safety surveillance data are important to identify rare risks that have been missed in clinical trials. Without #placebo controls, however, events can easily be falsely attributed to a certain treatment, just because they happen at a similar time but without a causal relationship. #drugsafety #drugs

  13. "Those researchers say that the drug’s efficacy has not been established, that scientists don’t know how much of the drug to give or how people should take it, and that safety data in children are lacking."

  15. The claim is circulating that antidepressants can cause overheating and dehydration. This is a genuine public health message, but it's not so simple: diuretics, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, antipsychotics, and some antihistamines may also interact badly with hot weather.
    nytimes.com/2024/06/15/well/li (excerpt in a reply)

    There's even doubt about antidepressants having this effect. A recent paper in eClinicalMedicine looked at all the studies they could find and concluded that there wasn't evidence of antidepressants causing overheating in hot weather - though some other medicines do.

    "Current evidence supports strong anticholinergics, non-selective beta-blockers, adrenaline, and anti-Parkinson’s agents impairing thermoregulation during heat stress ... physicians should interpret with caution conventional public health messaging related to the thermoregulatory effects of some drugs (e.g., antidepressants) during hot weather."

  16. CW: harm reduction

    Zenes from China are spreading in Europe, and more potent than #fentanyl. The thing is that first responders are not used to strong #opioid #overdose nor detected by most at home tests. They're buyable as #researchchemicals or #designerdrugs way too easily, and very cheap, so remorseless sellers press them into pills.
    #oxycodon is expensive: it can go up to around 100e a pill for the 80mg/160mg ones on the #darkweb. Percs are sold only in the US #opioids #harmreduction #drugsafety

  17. CW: Fake pill warning, pls share

    NOS, a Dutch news outlet, reported death linked to fake pills, "pressed" "pressies’ sold as #oxycodone but containing a deadly #zene analogue, stronger than fent, from China. These have been known to cause death in the UK a few years ago and were seen in France precovid. Beware - oxy is 1€/mg, pills should be in original packaging, percs don't exist here.
