Yeah it stinks but it seems like this possible effect is well-known. It would obviously be on the label and was likely advised to her by her doctor who prescribed it. At what point is it the consumer's fault? I guess that's what the lawsuit will discover.

I can't say that it is their legal responsibility, because I'm not sure... but at my pharmacy (Calgary Co-op), the pharmacist always takes time to explain to me all of the risks, complications, etc when I pick up a medication.
