Arava - An       Improved Drug?
A recent study has found that only 15% of new drugs approved in the last decade were novel chemicals that the FDA deemed a significant improvement over older drugs. It is not just Arava liver failure that is the concern, but of lymphoma, hypertension, and other problems have also been reported.
Dangers of Arava

Arava is dangerous, not just because of the life threatening and serious Arava side effects associated to the rheumatoid arthritis drug, but because the inability to predicts which patients are at risk and the short amount of time it takes for the drug to affect someone. In six months Arava patients have suffered from the dangerous side effects associated to the drug and even when discontinuing the rheumatoid arthritis drug treatment patients are still at risk because it remains within the body as it slowly dissipates. Rheumatoid arthritis affects around 2 million Americans, typically affecting adults between the ages of 25-50.
