A lot of wrong.

The whole septic argument seems ridiculous. If you are septic you will be in the hospital. If you are going to die it will be from the bacterial infection not a blue dye. Also no doctor is going to prescribe this medication to alleviate the pain / fever caused by a septic infection. You will be fed by a nutrient IV and you wont be swallowing or drinking anything. Your pain med would probably be administered thru the IV and not a ADF. I'm NOT A DOCTOR but this seems pretty basic.

People get admitted to the hospital because they are septic. They develop sepsis at home due to an infection such as pneumonia, UTI, cellulitis, etc. The whole body inflammatory response that results from sepsis is what increases gut permeability and allows the blue dye to systemically absorbed. All the blue dye that has been consumed by a Rexista user in the last 5-10 days, plus all the "stain" dye molecules that reside in the gut permanently will be absorbed at that time. If systemic absorption of blue dye occurs in septic patient, THEY WILL DIE. Lots of people get admitted to the hospital for sepsis who are not on vents and feeding tubes. Those people take all their regular home medicines and eat like normal. Just because you need IV antibiotics does not mean you need IV pain meds and certainly not IV nutrition (which, of course, is completely different than the enteral tube feeds we have been discussing here).


The biggest concern is that the progression from sepsis to severe sepsis with hypotension and acidosis will occur rapidly and before the patient can go to hospital for treatment.
