There was no report in the Lancet, it was a scathing editorial.
I swear this is the last time I’m going to address this.
The NEMJ report was a meta-analysis of old information. It was funded by a competitor.
The two drugs are in the same class. Not likely to be any differences.
This a battle for market share.
There are risks with all medications. All. You must always weigh the benefits of the medication against the risks, with advise from your doctor.
