    Well then it must be perfectly safe.

    PS. OP, asking a bunch of sales reps for the company is not exactly an unbiased source of information. Please don't go crazy with the link, just because there are concerns does not mean it's not worth taking. There's always a risk to benefit ratio with everything, just be informed and understand that no drug is a perfectly safe magic bullet.

    A couple of dead Russians on 10mg. Who cares?

    5mg is the only approved dose. So why is this person taking 10mg?

    Because the last person to take it died. Better hope Medicare patients don't forget and take 2 QD.

    As safe as anything I'm this treatment class.

    10 bid will get approved here soon in my opinion.

    It's a great drug. Rheums are slow starters but mine are loving it.

    True today. Not true this time next year. We will have 2 competitors that will kill us on safety.

    Better make our bonus now, because safety rules.

    Isn't this true with any drug? If a person takes double the max dose every day (QD) wouldn't you expect a bad outcome?

    Did you mean "better home Medicare patients don't forget and take Zel BID"

    Problem is Pfizer studied 10mg expecting titration. Now Xeljizz only has one flavor to choose from.
