Well, a few words and a link. The link says most of what I want to say, so here it is: Bad side effects that are now being referred to as a benefit!
I just heard the ad on TV for Invokana. Some of the side effects: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration. Turned into a possible benefit - they said it may help with weight loss. Well, if you can't eat due to nausea, get dehydrated, and have diarrhea, you pretty much have to weigh less. Of course, this may also damage various organs and kill you...then you won't have to worry about your weight.
BTW - my father had diabetes. He changed his diet to a much healthier one, and as a result, got off all his diabetes medications. Instead of asking your doctor for a drug, as the commercials ask you to do, perhaps it would be better to tell him/her about your new healthy diet so he/she can monitor your progress and adjust your medication if needed.
