    And we’re already starting to see negative consequences.

    How about you fully test a drug before throwing it out in the world and then blaming patients for “not knowing how it works, so you should’ve used it differently”.

    Over the next 20 years we’ll see all the risks come to light before it then gets pulled.

    Wash, rinse, repeat.

        As far as I’ve seen, use comes with a very slightly increased chance of kidney failure, pancreatitis and a rare form of thyroid cancer. These are known and well studied drugs that are being used to treat different conditions than they previously were, so there’s not some huge lack of information as was implied. Idk what they’re referring to specifically, but that’s everything I’ve been able to find from looking into them recently.
