Underneath is a copy of the email sent to EMEA relating to the topic of this thread...........
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED LITIGATION
I write to request the following:-
1. Are the undernoted web links true? Is the EMEA looking to completely ban coproxamol?
2. If "1" above is correct, please can you advise me precisely who at the EMEA is responsible for this? I REQUIRE their name and professional position within EMEA? Thankyou.
3. If "1" above is correct, I also require the name and address of your lawyers. Thankyou.
IN SUMMARY
My life (and many of the 1,700,000 prescribed coproxamol in the UK) has been ruined and I am left without any pain relief following spinal surgery. The only pain killer that worked (for 18 years) was coproxamol. I have plenty of morphine but refuse to use it. In fact the GP newspaper, PulseToday obtained detail from the MHRA under Freedom of Information legislation that morphine prescriptions are UP 40% since the MHRA coproxamol ban. Would you care to comment on behalf of the EMEA?
Following an arduous campaign to rectify the mess the MHRA made of the coproxamol ban, I am now advised from two sources that your organisation is looking to make a total ban.
In the United Kingdom my colleagues and I managed to have the plight of those who found all alternates to coproxamol too weak, too strong or with intolerable side effects featured in the press and on television.
The mess the MHRA made of this issue was even subject to THREE dedicated coproxamol debates in the UK House of Parliament. The MHRA stonewalled and ignored Parliament. Does the EMEA intend to do the same and ignore the Sovereign UK Parliament?
We all know and agree that coproxamol is dangerous. We all support moves to reduce the appalling accidental and also the deliberate coproxamol deaths. But to condemn tens of thousands of patients to live and die in untreated pain because the matter has been knee jerked by incompetent civil servants is inhumane. In some quarters it is proposed that this is criminally so. Hence the initiation of "It Only Takes One" campaign.
I have examined the EMEA website and searched under "coproxamol", "co-proxamol" and "distalgesic", but nothing comes up.
I would be grateful if you would answer my email in full, and PLEASE do not give me the stonewalling that has been excrementing from the MHRA spin machine with arduous and ignorant repetition over the past three years.
Thankyou.
