It's A Short Night For Me. You'll Have To Make Do With A Random Bit Of Stupidity.

From the "Warnings And Precautions" section of the Amitiza package insert:

"....Amitiza should not be prescribed to patients that have severe diarrhea"


Great. Thanks for that warning there Takeda Pharmacuticals. Because you know, I bet a lot of doctors were all set to prescribe a med indicated for CHRONIC CONSTIPATION to their patients with severe diarrhea until they saw that.

I've also heard Ambien might not be the drug of choice to treat narcolepsy.

I must go to bed now to escape the stupidity.
