My "guess" would be that a product that has been used over a long period of time would more than likely have more "participants" than a product that has been around for a shorter period of time. Of course, unless we saw the actual numbers, we'd never know....just be guessing. The article mentions a 2004 FDA source, so it may be possible to get the actual results of the research....probably have to do some digging though!  |
Exactly.
And looking at how long Heartgard has been around and seeing how popular it is, I would guess that it is pretty safe. Revolution is already showing 36 deaths a year but it isn't as well know as Heartgard (or probably Interceptor either) and didn't it come out in the early 2000's? That isn't that long ago.
I wonder how we could go about getting this info from the FDA.
