Version 2.78

Descriptions

Pemoline has some advantages over other stimulants in that it does not reduce the appetite or cause dry mouth. However, in some patients Pemoline is suspected of causing liver damage, so regular liver tests are performed on those treated with it. Since receiving FDA approval in 1975, it has been linked with 21 cases of liver failure, of which 13 resulted in liver replacement or death. In 2005, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) withdrew approval for Pemoline due to pressure from certain public advocacy groups, including Public Citizen. Patient support group the Narcolepsy Network tried to persuade the FDA not to ban it, on the grounds that some patients find all other treatments ineffective or to have dehabilitating side effects.
