Something to ponder...as it appears some could have reactions to the product...BD

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reportedly about to issue "blackbox" warnings for drugs used to enhance the images of ultrasound machines in the diagnosing of heart problems. A black box warning is the strongest type of warning for medical products. These particular drugs are injected into some patients' veins before doctors view the heart by using an ultrasound procedure called echocardiography. FDA will issue information to doctors regarding the serious risks associated with the drugs. The drugs Definity and Optison are made from microscopic gas-filled spheres enclosed in tiny capsules of protein or fatty material and are injected into the veins of patients before their hearts are examined with ultrasound.
