Jun-4-13 Livingstone, TX Against his doctor’s advice, Don, age 47, stopped taking Januvia , saying he would rather deal with high blood sugar than kidney stones, blood in his urine and severe abdominal pains. “As soon as I started taking Januvia, my stomach started burning, and about a year ago, I started to urinate blood clots,” says Don, w... - Yaz: Top-Selling Birth Control at a Price?

Jun-3-13 Lakewood Ranch, FL The home warranty is, in some respects and in certain contexts, somewhat of an oxymoron. A builder’s warranty, which is usually in force for the first five years of life for a new home, is often moot as most structural or mechanical bugs will not appear before the warranty term is up. To that end, home warranty insurance encomp... - Reglan Patients Should Keep Eye on Statute of Limitations

Feb-2-12 Washington, DC The annual observance of American Heart Month is a time for superlatives and overtures about heart health.
