New Online Database ForAdverse Event Drug Reports

[Guest guest]

All,

The article in today's WSJ referenced below caught my eye and offers new access to the FDA's database on adverse effect reports submitted for both drugs and medical devices. Any guesses on which drugs had the most adverse reports for statins ? Yup, Lipitor followed by Crestor which in my situation led to permanent muscle weakness and joint pain and now restricts my mobility on a daily basis. I personally feel that this outcome would have been different had I been able to access then use this information early into my post MI recovery period with the Cardiologist and GP.
