Those numbers make me sick!!!

From FDA yesterday:

NSAIDs treat pain and fever from many different long- and short-term medical conditions and are available by prescription and OTC. The risk of heart attack and stroke with NSAIDs, either of which can lead to death, was first described in 2005 in the Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions sections of the prescription drug labels. Since then, we have reviewed a variety of new safety information on prescription and OTC NSAIDs, including observational studies, a large combined analysis of clinical trials, and other scientific publications. These studies were also discussed at a joint meeting of the Arthritis Advisory Committee and Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee held on February 10-11, 2014.

Perhapse if the FDA believed in "observational" studies they wouldn't have ignored the evidence in 2005. Really pathetic!
