Reports of severe liver damage began to surface shortly after Duract, an anti-inflammatory drug, was introduced in 1997. The reports came from users who took the drug for more than 10 days.
The drug was recalled in 1998 because of post-marketing reports of severe hepatic liver failure resulting in four deaths and eight liver transplants. In almost all of the cases deaths, the patient took the drug longer than 10 days.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) received reports that Duract was a suspect in 68 deaths, including 17 that involved liver failure.
