Where can I read about the results of the studies, i.e long term outcomes? I'm curious what data is evaluated and # of patients included. It would be interesting to know how many patients that were in the pre-marketing studies were included in the post-marketing studies, and what was the length of time they were on the med, why did they stop it, etc.
I don't know that I have ever read this type of information, but the drug companies must have to follow the patients one year, 5 years after beginning the drug, in order follow long term results and adverse effects...SG
