Food and Drug Administration Issues Safety Alert on Raptiva

The psoriasis drug Raptiva, manufactured by Genentech, Inc. and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2003 has been linked to several deadly side effects. On February 19, 2009, the FDA announced three cases and a possible fourth of PML, a serious brain infection, were likely caused by Raptiva. Three of the four patients have died as a result of their illness. The FDA asked Genetech in October, 2008, to add a black box warning to Raptiva listing PML as a possible side effect, as well as other dangerous conditions. PML causes serious neurological problems for those who survive the disease. Around 80 percent of those who develop PML die within six months.
