Eil Lilly (LLY) Death Drug Needs More Regulation
Published:
Last Updated:
If there wasn’t enough already wrong with the FDA drug approval process, diabetes drug Byetta, created for patients by Elli Lilly (LLY) and Amylin Pharmaceuticals (AMLN) is killing more people. The news follows an earlier report of problems which was put out by the agency in October.
According to the AP, "The Food and Drug Administration said Monday it has received six new reports of patients developing a dangerous form of pancreatitis while taking Byetta. Two of the patients died and four were recovering."
The two drugs companies say the problem is very rare, which is true unless you are one of the people who died.
