I can be a patient of other medicine and I hate it when people tampered with my precious health, intentional or not. Looks like there's still a lot to be done with "ethical conduct" of pharma here. I know it's pretty easy to do when no huge profit is involve, which ia highly unlikely. Self-education with reliable info source might minimize the impact.

I spoke with a patient who, for 3 months, went in and out of the ICU, was treated for every perceived malady under the sun until they did exploratory surgery for his gallbladder and saw — surprise — he had, in the surgeon's words, "the most goddamned awful case of pancreatitis I ever saw." Patient had been on Victoza the whole time, and not one of the many physicians had a clue Victoza was tied to pancreatitis. Then again, I suppose I shouldn't blame them, consider the label still claims "There are no conclusive data establishing a risk of pancreatitis <br />with Victoza treatment."Max Kennerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13446544488483529770noreply@blogger.com
