First it was Tamiflu that is linked to abnormal behavior in young persons.
Now it is Relenza and Symmetrel.
The Japan health ministry revealed that 16 cases, two of them leading to death, have been linked to the use of two more anti-flu drugs – Zanamivir (sold as Relenza) and Amantadine (sold as Symmetrel).
