The FDA
issued a warning today on the Amylin and Lilly diabetes drug, Byetta. The FDA has received 30 reports of acute pancreatitis in patients on Byetta. The denominator here is 700,000 – there have been 700,000 patients who have taken it. So, for the math experts, that’s 0.0043%.
This was a CYA move from the FDA.
