Important Information for Extavia® (interferon beta 1-b) Patients Regarding Triad Group’s Alcohol Prep Products

Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (Novartis) has become aware of a United States market recall of all lots of alcohol prep pads, swabs and swabsticks manufactured by the Triad Group and marketed under various brand names. The recall has been initiated due to concerns about potential microbial contamination of the alcohol products with Bacillus cereus, that could potentially lead to life-threatening infections.

Had the interstim inserted 9/22/10.  Within one week had severe inflamation at the site of device and leads.  DR treated for infecton.  No improvement.  Then treated with Prednisone for several days and there was moderate improvement.  After being off steroids 2 weeks inflamation returned and then began having a rash on butt, back, legs.  Dermatologist diagnosed allergy to something in device.  Allergist consulted then.  His opinion was that either the device had to be removed or I would have to remain on steroids permanently.  Device removed 1/19 and rash and inflamation vastly improved.  There is a skin test used before inserting the device but it was never offered to me even though I have a history of allergies.  The device did help a lot and I was sorry to have it removed.  Also sorry skin test not done in advance as it would have saved a lot of money and discomfort of the surgery.

I was given two nasal sprays to clear my congestion by my doctor.  One is a steroid the other a decongestant (afrin); I've been using each for about 5 days, but last night experienced severe insomnia and increased heart rate.  I assumed it was a side effect from the medicine, though I am prone to panic attacks too, so it was hard to figure out what I was experiencing.  I decided at the end of the night that it was indeed the medicine (for there was no one thing triggering anxiety, and hence a panic attack).  I called my phramacist and he said the increased heart rate is unlikely, and in fact he had never heard of it.  So it's confusing.  After the call I concluded (very unscientifically) that what I was experiencing was a panic attack.  Then I found this string of posts. 

Will you tell me, just so I have some peace of mind, what specifically your ER doctor told you about the effects of Afrin?  I'm going to discontinue use until I feel safe using it.  Thanks for your response.
