A study in the Lancet found that the use of Ziagen (abacavir) and Videx (didanosine) raised heart risk. During the anti-viral section in Pharmacotherapy IV, some discusiong alluded to this: As people with HIV and AIDS live longer, the complications associated with long-term drug therapy will be a more significant risk than their actual AIDS. I'm obviously not an AIDS expert (no comment on my grade for the module...) but I think there will be a lot more information coming out on the issues of long-term AIDS therapy.
Just as a reminder, or to let you know for the first time, abacavir was developed right here at the University of Minnesota by Dr. Robert Vince. That's pretty cool.

Clomiphene(Clomid) tablet
What is this medicine?
CLOMIPHENE is a fertility drug used to increase the chance of getting pregnant. It is
used to help women ovulate (produce a mature egg) properly during their cycle. Compared
to other fertility treatments, clomiphene alone does not greatly increase your chances
of having multiple babies. An increased chance of having twins may occur in roughly 5
out of every 100 women who take this medication. Occasionally clomiphene is prescribed
to men with fertility problems due to low sperm counts.
