GAITHERSBURG, Md., Nov 18 (Reuters) - A U.S. advisory panel said on Friday it saw no evidence Roche AG's <ROG.VX> anti-flu medicine Tamiflu caused the deaths of 12 children in Japan but urged regulators to continue monitoring for potential risks.

"The committee does not think, based on the data presented, that there's any evidence Tamiflu played a role in the deaths," panel chairman Robert Nelson said. snip

The panel did recommend to the Food and Drug Administration that new information be added to the Tamiflu label about serious skin reactions, which already are listed as a possible side effect. snip

The FDA has been studying reports of 12 deaths and 32 cases of psychiatric problems in children who had taken Roche's drug. All of the psychiatric events, which included hallucinations and abnormal behavior, also were reported in Japan.

4. FDA - You mean the Federal Dope Addicts agency.

Gee, you can get all the Pharmy controlled dangerous substances you want with a prescription - but can get weed? More people are dying from Pharmy over doses than all the illegal drugs combine - and weed is illegal. FDA go fuck yourselves.
