FDA Plans New Drug Labels for Pregnant Women
Posted on Thursday, May 29th, 2008 at 3:05 am
Plans for the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) new drug labeling system were announced recently. The new labels, which have been in the works for over a decade, are intended to be easier to understand and provide more information about the possible effects of prescription medicine on pregnant women and their infants.
The current system, says the FDA, is confusing, overly generalized, and does not facilitate the addition of updated information as it becomes available. Under the new labeling system, drugs would be categorized by letters denoting the potential risk it would pose to pregnant women. Furthermore, sections summarizing the effects of the drug on a fetus and breast-fed infants, as well as information regarding the drug’s usage in studies and other clinical considerations, would be added to the labels.
Prescription drugs can be either extremely beneficial or incredibly harmful. If you or someone you love has been hurt by a dangerous or defective drug, call a Wausau medical malpractice lawyer from Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® at 715-387-4242 today.

The family of a teenage boy who suffered broken bones and internal injuries during an arrest intends to sue for damages. Juan Vasquez, 16, sustained broken ribs, a lacerated liver, and kidney damage following a foot chase by Officer Charles Porter of the Denver police.
According to two other Denver officers, Porter was seen jumping on Vasquez’s back at least 4 times. Porter has been suspended without pay since the incident and may face second-degree assault charges.
