Wednesday, July 21, 2004The researchers also looked for side effects from Pravachol among the kids, such as delayed growth, liver damage, and delayed puberty, and found none. The kids studied were ages 8 to 18, but the paper never tells what the actual age distribution was, only that the median age was 13. This is important. It matters whether or not most of the children were hovering around 13 or whether they were equally distributed from the age of 8 onwards, since drugs would have more potential to harm the developing pre-pubertal child than the already pubescent. I would still be reluctant to put a growing child on cholesterol-lowering drugs. posted by Sydney on 7/21/2004 08:31:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
