Contraceptives that are higher risk.

Third generation oral contraceptives containing desogestrel tend to doubled the risk of venous thrombosis (30 cases for every 100,000 users per year of third generation oral contraceptives compared to 15 cases for every 100,000 users of second generation oral contraceptives) and lack of evidence of clinical benefit as compared to the second generation oral contraceptives. The third generation oral contraceptives containing desogestrel are:
  • Desogestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol (Duramed/Barr and Watson Pharmaceuticals)
  • Desogen (Organon)
  • Mircette (Duramed/Barr)
  • Velivet (Duramed)
  • Apri-28 (Duramed/Barr)
  • Kariva (Duramed/Barr)
  • Ortho-Cept (Ortho-McNeil)
  • Reclipsen (Watson)
  • Cyclessa (Organon)
These are just a few of the ones on the market. Please note that if you or anyone out there is taking a pill that contains this element to please consult with your doctor first dont just stop them. I am not knocking birth control but I am saying that as females we need to know what it is we are putting in our bodies and how they will affect us. If you research more on this you will find that the contraceptives that came out back in the 60's seem to be somewhat safer than the altered ones created today. There are more details on this subject at www. notmypill.org . This particular site is trying to ban these drugs from the market but you and I all know that this is not reality. So I am  approaching this on a different level which is that of education.
We as a people can get together to make an impact if we work together and educated ourselves. So again I ask you for your help with this matter. I love you and God Bless  You!!!

Immunotherapy Day after treatment

Hello All, Well it has been a full 24hrs since his treatment. The two drugs that he is taking is Keytruda and Zometa. Keytruda is the immunotherapy for his lung cancer. Zometa is a bone treatment to help keep his bones strong. So far the only side effects he has experienced has been a tiredness, fever and body aches. I did call the doctors and they stated that they believe the side effects he has encountered are those from the Zometa (which is the bone treatment). Those particular side effect are common with that drug. I have a positive outlook that these drugs will help my Dad. I can say his eating has picked up a bit. Which all seems to be leading in the right direction. The whole process for his first treatment seemed to go extremely smooth. We checked in at the Oncologist front desk. Then were called back to an education office. They went over the drugs being administered, what they do and all of the side effects that can potentially occur. Then of course you have to sign off t...
