Let's see Gylinea kills 11= No problem, tekturna 32 strokes pull it REALLY

There is some strange logic to this equation. In a clinical trial with 8000 patients there were 32 nonfatal strokes we were told make sure to tell our docs that "NO ONE DIED" so they pull all Tekturna products saying it is for the health of the patients. the patients in this trial were diabetic, hypertensive with renal problems. OK so we sell Tekturna TO THE OTHER 85% of hypertensive patients. and put a black box warning just like the pregnancy black box. NO we pull the product and lay off 3/4 of our sales force.
Now Gilynea KILLS 11 and Novartis strudies the problem to see if there is something there
PEOPLE SOMETHING IN THE SITUATION STINKS AND I THINK IT IS IN SWITZERLAND

Agreed. How about a conspiracy theory? Somebody did a little 3 year strat plan and realized they could "make" more money by cutting their losses with this drug and getting rid if the FF.
