U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Advisories

  • November 6, 2015: Plavix (clopidogrel): An FDA review has determined that long-term use of the blood-thinning drug Plavix (clopidogrel) does not increase or decrease overall risk of death in patients with, or at risk for, heart disease. FDA evaluation of the Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) trial and several other clinical trials also does not suggest that clopidogrel increases the risk of cancer or death from cancer.
  • November 17, 2015: Iodine-containing Contrast Agents for Medical Imaging: FDA is advising that rare cases of underactive thyroid have been reported in infants following the use of contrast media containing iodine, also called "contrast dye," for X-rays and other medical imaging procedures. In all of the reported cases, the infants were either premature or had other serious underlying medical conditions. Available evidence leads FDA to believe that this rare occurrence is usually temporary and resolves without treatment or any lasting effects. See the Drug Safety Communication for a data summary and a list of approved Approved Iodinated Contrast Media Products
