The word is 'rare' . That one person they tested who had the 'rare' adverse event may have had something else go wrong in the body at that same time or some allergy that didnt know about. If you think about it, any new drug we are prescribed has the potential for sudden death as a result. More than not it will be listed somewhere at the end of your print out for that drug from the pharmacy. The thing is to know your body, know your allergies; be alert, if something doesnt feel right, your body will tell you. Listen to it and stop taking it right away. You should always be truthful and accurate when telling your physician what other medications you are taking. This and double checking with the pharmacist to concur that you will not have any occurance of drug-interaction-allergies, is going to give you the peace of mind you are looking for. Always remember, you are the patient, you are the one in charge... not the doctor. If it doesnt feel right, dont take it.
