    Recall Alerts:

    Winter 2010
    Tylenol Arthritis Pain Caplet, 100 count bottles: RECALL – As of December 28, 2009, McNeil Consumer Healthcare and FDA have notified consumers of a voluntary recall to include all product lots of TYLENOL Arthritis Pain Caplet 100 count bottles, with the distinctive red EZ-OPEN CAP. In November 2009, 5 lots of this product were recalled with reports of an unusual moldy or mildew-like odor that was associated with stomach pain, vomiting, nausea and diarrhea. This odor is caused by a chemical presence of 2,4,6-tribromoanisole, which is believed to be the breakdown of a chemical that is used to treat wooden packaging materials. Any recently purchased bottles of TYLENOL Arthritis Pain Caplet with the distinctive red EZ-OPEN cap should be discarded. If you or someone you know has experienced any side effects as a result of TYLENOL Arthritis Pain Caplet, call Westmoreland Injury Lawyers today at 724-547-4539.

    Plavix & Prilosec/Prilosec OTC – Data has been released showing that omeprazole (Prilosec/Prilosec OTC), a medicine used to reduce stomach acid, decreases the anti-blood clotting effect of clopidogrel (Plavix), when these two medicines are taken simultaneously. This effect is called a drug interaction and it takes place because omeprazole blocks the transformation of clopidogrel into its active form. Omeprazole lessens clopidogrel’s anti-blood clotting effect by almost half, which allows patients who are at risk of heart attacks or strokes using clopidogrel to not receive the full anti-blood clotting effect while taking omeprazole at the same time. If you or someone you know has experienced any serious side effects as a result of concurrently using Plavix and Prilosec/Prilosec OTC, call us today at 724-547-4539.
