One product but does the same damage nowhere you put it

When I read about the mesh not the mesh for Hernia even though it is the same product you gave me hope that I needed to go on fighting for what is right. I had a hysterectomy done and the a bladder sling and I have nothing but problems with the mesh migrating two surgery to trim and a trim of the mesh in the doctor office and now I’m going back into surgery to have the mesh removed because all of the pain. So thank you the recall and or ban on the mesh is all the same product so it shouldn’t make a difference on where the mesh is into your body and how it was put in the product is dangerous and that is the bottom line.

Drugwatch is the best and most informative source for drug related advice

My hemotologist/oncologist prescribed a blood thinner about 3 weeks ago due to a blood clot in my arm. Out of curiosity I researched other available medications on several sites, and found Drugwatch to be the most concise and informative.
