[7-29-2013] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has strengthened and updated warnings regarding nerve and psychiatric side effects associated with DRUG D, used to treat diabetes. A boxed warning, the most serious kind of warning about these potential problems, has been added to the drug label. We have revised the patient Medication Guide dispensed with each prescription and wallet card to include this information and the possibility that the side effects may persist or become permanent.
Patients, caregivers, and health care professionals should watch for nerve and psychiatric side effects when using DRUG D. The nerve side effects can include dizziness, loss of balance, or ringing in the ears. These can occur at any time during drug use, and can last for months to years after the drug is stopped or can be permanent. The psychiatric side effects can include feeling anxious, mistrustful, depressed, or having hallucinations. Patients who develop nerve or psychiatric symptoms should contact their prescribing health care professional. Do not stop taking DRUG D before discussing symptoms with your health care professional.
We will continue to evaluate the safety of DRUG D and will communicate with the public again when additional information becomes available.
