Drug Company Malfeascence: There's evidence that pharmaceutical researchers hid the risks of liver damage inherent in the diabetes drug, Rezulin:
Whitcomb used an unorthodox method to count the number of liver injuries among patients who used Rezulin while using different criteria to count liver injuries among patients taking a placebo. The result trimmed the number of cases the company reported to the regulators and to doctors nationwide, giving a markedly more benign view of the drug's risks.
Rezulin was pulled off the market after several people died of liver failure while taking it. posted by Sydney on
