Duncan, So not taking it won't kill you, but it may make life harder. I realize that this isn't a perfect analogy. The only point I am trying to make is the one that WLA has already stated and that is that the benefits for the many should outweigh the potential side effects of the few. I would still like to see more information on the cases that were reported and how preventable they could have been with closer monitoring by their doctors. Judd

Some of you need to count to 10... Too much emotion,here.Just remember WLA did the right thing.WLA also created,arguably,one of the most effective drugs(Lipitor,Dilantin,Neurontin)in history of medicine.So,just give them time to regroup.I think, the current problem is a bit overblown out of proportion.Patients love Rezulin,because it makes them feel younger and normal.Doctors MUST know of potential side-effects of drugs ,so that they can prevent real problems.Nearly all drugs can cause liver injury.If docs watch for problems,risks ought to be minimal.
