Ummmm, Seldane. . .

Seldane may be a bad example of a dangerous drug because most problems with it had to do with its interactions with some antibiotics as opposed to the drug itself.

Seriously, it was the best antihistamine EVER as far as I'm concerned, and it's general removal from the marketplace was a bad thing overall. Although Allegra is supposed to be the same drug, I never really got relief from allergies with Allegra; I don't know why.

As far as the other drugs you listed, Blueangel, I see your point. On the other hand, it seems that a vaccine would have more limited impact. Can you think of any vaccines that have caused problems?

ETA: I can see the reference to the Swiss Flu vaccine, now. When I first read your post, I was distracted by the reference to sweet, sweet, Seldane that it eclipsed everything else.

Where can I read more about this? Hundreds of deaths sounds like a lot, but not compared to how many people died of Flu. How many people were vaccinated?
