The safety of the drug was questioned by the FDA in 2004 after the withdrawl of Merck& Co's similar Vioxx.

Eh! Well what do you know... We're so damn worried our kids are too damn fat, but we have no problem whatsoever drugging them up. Especially when said drug has fatal side effects. But, you know... whatever. At least they'll die when they're healthy and young and not when their middle aged and obese. it's win win!
