Tequin Recall - Drug being removed from market, but existing stocks not being recalled.

Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. confirmed on May 1, 2006 that it will stop producing and distributing Tequin due to the wavering effects it is having on blood sugar levels, however, the existing stocks of the drug are not currently being recalled.

A public interest group known as Public Citizen said there have been 388 patients with blood-sugar irregularities associated with the drug including 20 deaths and 159 hospitalizations since Jan. 1, 2000.

Users of Tequin are advised not to stop the drug immediately, but to consult their physician's first.

Tequin is prescribed for chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, pneumonia, urinary tract and other infections but has been shown to cause both high and low blood sugar levels.
