Peter:

Do you have any idea how much the possible liability from troglitazone may affect PFE. ?

I understand that in a recent trial in Texas the jury's verdict was for the defendant, but on that case the cause of death was renal failure and the woman was already missing one kidney by the time she was started on Rezulin.

But there are several hundred cases already filed and some in which there has been substantial liver damage. In one case the plaintiff is waiting for a possible liver transplant.

I am glad that I never prescribed the drug in spite of the strong marketing pressure from the Parke-Davis detail people.<g>
