The F.D.A. ordered the makers of Ambien, Lunesta and 11 other commonly used sleep medications to issue strong new label warnings about those risks, and to produce brochures about safe use of the drugs. Pharmacies would give the brochures to patients when prescriptions are dispensed.
The agency will also require label warnings to note the possibility of severe allergic reactions and facial swelling associated with the use of such sleep medications.
The agency had been reviewing the side effects of sleeping pills since last year, after some users of the widely prescribed drug Ambien complained that they sleepwalked and gorged themselves on food or were arrested while driving in their sleep.
In each case the consumers had no recollection of the events, which occurred after they took Ambien and headed for bed.
The agency said that it had reviewed its database of reports of problems with the 13 commonly used sleep medications and concluded that labeling changes were needed. In a news release today, the F.D.A. warned patients of the potential for “complex sleep-related behaviors” which may include “sleep-driving, making phone calls and preparing and eating food (while asleep).”
The release defined “sleep driving” as “driving while not fully awake after ingestion of a sedative hypnotic, with no memory of the event.”
The F.D.A. also said it was taking the added step of asking manufacturers to conduct additional clinical studies involving sleep driving and other complex behaviors associated with taking the medications.
Besides Ambien and Lunesta, the drugs include Sonata and Rozerem, and a number of older medications.
The F.D.A.’s move follows a warning last month by authorities in Australia, where Ambien is marketed as Stilnox. The Australian drug agency said it had uncovered a variety of unusual activities by consumers using the product, including sleep-driving, sleep-eating, and, in one case, a woman who painted the front door of her home while asleep.
Here are the 13 sleep drugs, and their makers, as listed by the F.D.A.:
•
Ambien/AmbienCR (Sanofi-Aventis)
Butisol Sodium (MedPointe Pharmaceuticals)
Carbrital (Parke-Davis)
Dalmane (Valeant Pharmaceuticals)
Doral (Questcor Pharmaceuticals)
Halcion (Pharmacia & Upjohn)
Lunesta (Sepracor)
Placidyl (Abbott)
ProSom (Abbott)
Restoril (Tyco Healthcare)
Rozerem (Takeda)
Seconal (Eli Lilly)
Sonata (King Pharmaceuticals

August Renoir, the French impressionist painter, suffered from rheumatism late in life. His affliction was so intense that he painted while sitting in a chair and being moved about as he directed.
Holding a brush was extremely painful. Yet he continued to paint, and despite the crippling illness, created several masterpieces. To watch Renoir struggle was painful itself. One day a friend asked him,” why do you torture yourself? You have already produced scores of wonderful paintings. “Renoir looked at one of his canvasses and replied, “the pain passes but the beauty remains.”

If you can’t recognize certain smells, you might be in line for Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s disease, obsessive-compulsive disorder or schizophrenia, Australian research suggests. Researchers at Melbourne University came up with a set of 40 scratch-and-sniff cards and asked people to identify different aromas like oranges, coffee, petrol and roses. More than half of those who had trouble sorting out the smells went on to develop a brain disorder. Christos Pantelis told national broadcaster ABC that olfactory ability provided information about brain structure and function.

India is on the threshold of launching an oral vaccine for diabetes that would replace the current practice of insulin injections, promising relief to millions in the country suffering from the debilitating health condition.
The Andra Pradesh-based pharmaceutical company Transgene Biotek Ltd is currently doing research and pre-clinical trials of the vaccine in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT), Hyderabad.
“We have made considerable progress in the drug development process. The new vaccine will be administered in liquid form,” Prakash V. Diwan, chief of pharmacology of IICT, told IANS.
Diwan, however, said they would not like to divulge details about the development. “It’s too early to give further details.”
With nearly 40 million diabetes patients, India is home to over 20 percent of the total cases worldwide. Experts believe that given the changing lifestyles, the disease could take on an endemic status soon.
Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss had told IANS earlier that pre-clinical trials of the oral vaccine were at an advanced stage and “by the second half of 2008 there will be some reason to smile”.
The oral insulin vaccine has shown a reduction in blood glucose levels comparable to that of the injectable insulin, officials said. Once taken, the benefits would persist for almost 24 hours and help in better management of diabetes.
However, experts involved in the research said they would go for a “toxicological test” of the drug in “animal mammals because of the safety factor”.
“The clinical trial will have two phases - in phase one the drug would be tested on animal mammals and on phase two on humans. Nearly 200 to 250 mammals of two separate categories would be put under the toxicological test,” said a researcher associated with the new vaccine, requesting he not be named.
In the second phase, the drug would be tested on at least 20 humans. “Once successful, the drug would be tried on around 100 patients from different parts of India and probably from some European country. It would help in containing the disease faster and more effectively. The cost of treatment would also go down as the drug would be an indigenous product,” the researcher explained
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 180 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes. Nearly 1.1 million succumbed to the disease in 2005. Almost 80 percent of diabetes deaths occur in low and middle-income countries, the UN body said.
Diabetes, which can lead to several complications like kidney failure, gangrene in the leg leading to amputations, heart problem and skin related problems, is growing at the rate of over 50 percent in India, say officials. In India, the mortality rate is over five percent of the total number of cases reported every year.
Anoop Mishra of the Fortis Group of Hospitals said an oral vaccine would greatly help patients. “It would make the treatment process easier and help in containing the disease,” said Mishra, director and head of the department of diabetes at Fortis.
“Indians are genetically predisposed to such ailments. And when they change their food habits the chance of being affected by diabetes and heart problems increases. A lot of children are now turning diabetic,” Mishra added.
According to one estimate, a diabetes patient spends nearly Rs.15,000 on treatment a year. If the problem leads to other health related problems, the amount rises four-fold. The loss of working hours also results in revenue loss
