Dawn,

I know, it seems like no one wants to take the blame for giving women Lupron after they suffer major health problems. All the docs make them sign waivers so the doc can't be sued for giving it to them. And the FDA says that it is REQUIRED by law to give the patients the 10-page leaflet about the warnings before the drug is given to the patients, but it seems no one is getting this leaflet and being informed of how dangerous this drug really is!!!

What I find even more strange, is that all of the Lupron victims sites only list a few hundred people who have had problems from it, when I think it should be in the tens of thousands! You know the company who makes Lupron was sued under a RICO suit (Racketeering and Organized Crime) for giving doctors free samples, then having the doctors charge the insurance companies full price? And giving doctors expensive vacations and bonuses for prescribing it? Almost every doc I've been to has really pressured me hard to take it and I always said no way!

They were finded $890 million for that, but they are still running strong. I think it would not be too far-fetched to assume that maybe Tap Pharmaceuticals somehow finds a way to cover up how many women have REALLY been hurt by this drug. My general practitioner has expressed how dangerous and crazy he thinks Lupron is and says he would never give it to a patient! There needs to be a way or website to track how many women have REALLY been hurt by this drug and send it to the FDA. It makes me mad that EndoKnow is really just an ad for Lupron, and it portrays itself as an Endo help site. That ad is everywhere.
