Beware of drugs that end with "xx"

This time, it’s a drug for dogs that’s in trouble:

When reports of illness and death linked to the drug surfaced not long after it went on the market, the company was slow to report the problems to the Food and Drug Administration. The agency eventually did issue a reprimand and a formal warning letter, but two years later the drug is still being sold, and some consumers complain that too little is being done to warn pet owners of its dangers.

The medication is Deramaxx, and it’s the center of another drug controversy. But this medication isn’t for people. It’s for dogs.
