J&J Foot Gel Regranex May Increase Cancer Risk

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that a Johnson and Johnson foot gel that is used by diabetics may increase the risk of cancer.

The gel, Regranex, was found to increase the number of cancer deaths of people who had previously been prescribed the gel 3 or more times.

"Because there are known risks associated with diabetic foot and leg ulcers that do not heal, the potential risk of using Regranex should be weighed against the benefit for each individual patient."
