Comments on: Lilly Investor Call Over Byetta Causing Apprehension http://www.pharmalot.com/2008/08/lilly-investor-call-over-byetta-causing-apprehension/ News, Comment and Conversation Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:46:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Ed Silverman http://www.pharmalot.com/2008/08/lilly-investor-call-over-byetta-causing-apprehension/#comment-370290 Ed Silverman Tue, 26 Aug 2008 17:57:45 +0000 http://www.pharmalot.com/?p=15177#comment-370290 Hi Terry, I am 'my reporter,' and I don't claim to have every statistic at my fingertips, nor did I scour the universe for the particular datapoint that you cited. That said, I appreciate the information, assuming it is correct. Nonetheless, this post simply reports what a Wall Street analyst wrote to her clients this morning about the issue confronting Lilly and Amylin, and which has captured the attention of the FDA. The FDA, in fact, has been monitoring this side effect and, presumably, they are aware of the statistic you cited. I'm sorry for any confusion, but I'm not sure why you're taking me to task. Regards ed Hi Terry,

If not,he should try a little research. Does your reporter not know that pancreatitis is around 17/100000 in the general population and 3/100000 for those using Byetta?
