First Pfizer, now Lilly, 2 drug warnings in one day!

While I hate to go from a 1000 word essay to a brief on news.

Today so far 2 warnings from Pharma!

One from Pfizer, though they say heart attacks only occur with Celebrex at a dose 4 times as high as the typical dose

Then:
"Drug maker Eli Lilly & Co. warned doctors Friday to stop using the attention deficit disorder drug Strattera in patients with jaundice or who show signs of liver problems." "However, in a small percentage of patients, severe drug-related liver injury may progress to acute liver failure resulting in death or the need for a liver transplant," it said.

Just for the record.
People who have used Strattera and Pfizer:

over 2 million

That's 4 million plus.
