Look, if Lilly put a warning label on it, there is a much bigger problem than only 2 non-fatal liver problems out of 2 million users. I mean, if it were really only 2 people, why would they agree to add a warning label and attract all of this negative publicity? Two cases out of 2 million for any condition could easily be written off as chance (it is well within any conceivable margin of error), but for some reason they are making a point of saying that Strattera is the problem here, and the problem is always much much bigger than they admit to.
I don't know how serious this problem is, but I know that a major action like a label change isn't undertaken because 2 people have a problem. When are we going to learn that the pharmaceutical companies have our best interests at heart?
> Sounds pretty minor--two liver problems reported out of 2 million users, with no deaths or liver transplantations involved.
