Tonya,
Michelle (and Bramble) live in another country.
Over there, Revolution is called Stronghold, and somehow, when it was approved
for THEIR country, the labeling did not get the same warnings as the USA version
did. Being that it is THE SAME drug, it WAS an oversight by Pfizer, that very
well may have harmed cats. Specifically, if you read your Revolution package
insert, it says that it killed one kitten in the studies, but that the kitten
was weak and underweight, so they DO NOT recommend the product be used on sick
or underweight animals. This info was NOT on the labeling or package insert for
the Stronghold version of the drug which is sold in countries other than the
USA, therefore, vets in other countries did not know not to prescribe it to weak
and sick cats... thus Bramble got a dose when he shouldn't have. If I remember
correctly, Michelle even said that her vet was upset that this happened, because
it would not have if the labeling for the drug had just contained all the info
needed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Is the vet saying that he/she read and administered the revolution
according to the wrong directions and now they have been changed on the
packets???? So according to your vet this is the fault of Pfizer???
I find it hard to believe that Pfizer would just accept the blame and say
'we'll change all the leaflets'........ that would be like a major cover up here
for threat of lawsuit. |
