[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
This is a copy of a letter that I wrote to Rev. Dan Edmunds. He recommended that I inguire of you. My name is ******* ****. I am the father of an 11 year old girl that was on straterra for several months before acquiring 'autoimmune hepatitis'. Since straterra is metabolized in the liver, I strongly suspect that it is involved with her new condition. My doctor even mentioned another child with much the same condition and suspicions. I have searched many databases looking for at least correlation and to date have found nothing, but I just have the feeling in my stomach that I am right about this. My questions for you are few and simple; Have you heard about this correlation? Where can I look for more information? I just feel there is more to it that I just can't find. I know that Lilly has a vested interest in not letting any empirical data involving straterra and anything negative. I worry for other children and hope mine is the last to have to pay the price for racing dangerous drugs to market. Thanks for your time. ******* **** Muncie, IN |
