Alert for Men


Of special interest for men (from WedMD):
BPH Drugs Linked to
Increased Prostate Cancer Risk

The FDA is requiring makers of drugs used to treat BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) --
a condition with symptoms that include urination trouble due to an enlarged prostate gland --
to change labeling due to increased risk of a serious form of prostate cancer. The drugs
are sold under the brand names Proscar, Propecia, Avodart, and Jalyn.
