Health Canada has issued a warning for a drug given to kids, teens and adults to "treat" ADHD. Up to 189 people had bad side effects from this drug.
It is stated as far back September 2005, that it can cause self-harm ideas in people who take the drug. Yet it was still given out to "treat" people.

Yet other drugs fails, I wonder if any lawsuits will come out of this?!

The FDA knew about this in April 2005. They made them put a "black box" warning in the packageing, that little insert you are supposed to get with drugs but usually don't.
Lilly DID get kinda busted for pushing Strattera to child psychs for "off label uses".
I don't think many parents knew about it because it was pretty hush-hush. There weren't any recalls or press conferences, just an added footnote to the packaging.
Criminal.
The FDA doesn't care about people,they only care about
business.
