If the FDA does find some harm from using e cigs, will it be as bad as this drug? I'll name the drug at the bottom of the post. Surely it's one of those psych meds big pharma cooked up. Stevens Johnson Syndrome and the side effect above it make your skin peel off in black chunks and you are treated in a burn unit. Antibiotics can also cause this.
If this is being mass marketed to treat a common condition then how can ecigs beat this? Plus, this is a kind and gentle drug compared to others out there. The reason these side effects are listed is because they have happened to at least one person. Enjoy. :)

I've been taking Ibuprofen for headaches for over a decade, and I've never experienced a single one of those side effects. Not even a little bit. I've never heard of anybody having those side effects either. Where did this information come from?

I've taken a lot of medications over a 40 year period. If I would have gotten 1 1/100th of the SE's listed I'd be dead 20 times over.
But every doctor will tell you that ibuprofen is a safe drug and in doctor speak it is. But in the real world people should know the "benign" drug they are taking can have deadly side effects.
Ecigs should be OK.

Never had one of those reactions either from Grunt Candy... Normally take 1 to 2 Thousand mg a day. Yea.. ouchies.. But give me 100mg of Tramadol and I have to take a slew of other drugs to combat the reactions..

LOL, Grunt Candy, I like that. Here's an exaggerated version of what it's like talking to a doc (Navy corpsman, equivalent to a medic, and not really a doctor) when you're in the marine corps:

doc: Alright, what happened to you marine?
marine: I was caught by some shrapnel in an IED blast, doc. It took off my leg.
doc: Huh. You should have been hydrated. Well, take some Motrin, and drink more water.

Should I check with my doctor?8-o

If you are unsure whether or not you have the potential to become pregnant, you should definitely seek a professional opinion - preferably from a healthcare professional. If one is not available, sales associates at many fine retail outlets are often cheerful and eager to to answer questions.

hum ive been taking Ib for years and years, the worse it caused me was acid indigestion. It really doesnt scare me at all. I will continue to take them, I hate pain.

When they do clinical studies the people have to report anything that happens to them while on the drug, so if they get a headache that is reported. Then they see how many get these problems, its measured by % of people that complained about having them. There is an exceptable limit they go by.

Every drug on the market has a long list of side effects, common, rare and super rare. I would ask what were the % of people that had the super rare effects. With prescription drugs the dr out weighs the good effect to the bad effect per person. Its up to the dr to determine who should take the drugs. Over the counter drugs it up to the consumer to make that choice, being informed by the information on the package.

What is more scary than the drugs is how people take and keep their drugs, 21 years in a pharm I can tell storys that are really scary.

That is crazy. I used to visit a guy who had a life threatening reaction to ibuprofen. His skin peeled off, and he had to fly to another city and stay in a hotel twice ca month for treatment. He couldn't go outside in the day, and wore sunglasses at night. His life was completely changed because of two little pills. Pretty frightening.
