Fix it in documentation - prescription drugs

Consumer Reports and other outlets are reporting that Diabetes drugs Januvia, Janumet may pose dangerous risk. The article notes that there have been reports of 88 cases of acute pancreatitis in patients taking these drugs.
And, so how does the FDA tell the pharmaceutical manufacturer to deal with this dangerous side effect. By updating the documentation, of course.



We can be confident that the FDA is taking this very seriously. It's printing the guidelines to the healthcare professionals in bold text.

Reminds me of the time that I was driving on a dirt road up near Mt. Jaffrey in the winter. Apparently, the towns people were upset that the road was uneven and demanded that the town fix it. The resolution? Post a sign that said "Warning: Ruts in road"
