Tamiflu linked to abnormal behavior

The maker of the antiviral medication Tamiflu issued a new warning for the flu drug Monday, saying patients must be closely monitored for potential psychiatric problems, including delirium and suicide.

WOW. Now THAT is one strong statement.

The memo also cites the case of an 8-year-old in Japan who took one dose of Tamiflu and, about an hour and a half later, tried to run out the front door of his home. The child would not answer to his name and was growling, according to the memo, which was prepared in advance of an FDA pediatric advisory committee meeting Thursday....it was not yet known if the abnormal behavior was caused by the drug or the flu, which can cause fever and delirium.

That's the silliest thing that I have ever heard of. Did they really think that the kid's growling was caused by the FLU???

Read the rest of the article here. Let me know what you think.
