My son’s biggest adrenal crisis came as a result of the inability of the suspension to mix thoroughly enough. He was in the hospital several days. The doctors immediately put him, and all of the rest of his patients on pills. The doctor had suspected the suspension wasn’t working properly, but didn’t have enough solid evidence. Even after the adrenal crisis the evidence was sketchy, but the doctor didn’t want to take a chance. I posted on this board about our doctors decision, and few had heard of the problem. Most loved the nice, easy to administer orange syrup.

When Upjohn finally announced the recall, many parents still didn’t believe it, and when the suspension became impossible to purchase, only then grudgingly switched to pills.

The suspension was so much easier to administer than the pills, and I can see why Upjohn would have wanted to be absolutely sure that the problem wasn’t something else before yanking it away from the parents who really preferred to use it. I see nothing at all suspect in the timing of their recall. I do see quite a bit suspect in sleazy lawyers trying to get 50% contingencies out of large corporations with bogus class action suits, which rarely benefit those conned into posing as "plantiffs". The pharmaceutical companies simply pass on the expense of these frivilous suits back to us consumers. So they aren’t punished, you get your dirty money, the "plaintiffs" get a few consolation pennies, and the rest of us pay for your fun.

Are you actually able to sleep at night, knowing you "earn" your living off the suffering you cause others?
