>Actually, I believe the risk of liver failure with Serzone is a lot lower than that. According to the Wall Street Journal, 1 out of every 250,000 to 300,000 people taking Serzone will develop liver failure. If it were 1 in 1000, I'm sure the FDA would take it off the market.
You're right. I don't know where in my mind I pulled that figure out, but it's incorrect. The 250,000 to 300,000 is, according to the monograph, "patient-years", not people, though.
I stand admonished,
