Is myopathy a side effect of ATIVAN ? ( FactMed.com )

About this FactMed analysis covering adverse side effect reports of ATIVAN patients who developed myopathy.

FactMed provides MD-approved analysis to help both patients, researchers, and physicians accurately assess the risk profile for more than 20,000 different pharmaceutical products. The below report offers compiled information from Food & Drug Administration and FactMed user submissions. Between January 2004 and October 2012, 46 individuals taking ATIVAN reported myopathy to the FDA. A total of 23893 ATIVAN drug adverse event reaction reports were made with the FDA during this time period. Often the FDA only receives reports of the most critical and severe cases; these numbers may therefore underrepresent the complication rate of the medication.

FDA Research Report

QUESTION BONE PAIN	something similar about people talking about Jim Crow. Southerners in the 1800′s were far worse. There were admirable aspects of Southern culture, but if there had been blogs in those days (either the 1950′s or the 18&5s#8242;0) a blog about the plight of Southern blacks would have seemed very anti-Southern to a white Southerner. It’s nice, for instance, that the Israeli court ruled that Palestinians should be able to use that road (I forgot its number). It was nice that they outlawed torture (supposedly) in 1999. How much difference has that made?	2017-03-20 09:08:22
