Guest guest Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Also, when it does come on the market it will cost a bunch. And when it looks like it is really working the government will make them take it off the market! Isn't that the way it usually goes?

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 And,like Fen-fen, after its on the market and a great success, some teeny percentage will develop heart valve problems or something like that, and it will be taken off the market...or it may never make it to the market because of pre-testing problems...

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Or, since it also kills thirst, there will be problems with dehydration and any other consequences of that. in NJ ******************* > And,like Fen-fen, after its on the market and a great success, some > teeny percentage will develop heart valve problems or something like that, and it will be taken off the market...or it may never make it to the market because of pre-testing problems... > > Cindy > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
