DRUG WARNING

Drug Warning:  The controversial drug Rezulin can continue selling but
consumers should receive special warnings with each prescription noting that
it can cause sudden and lethal liver failure, the government decided
Wednesday.

The Food and Drug Administration also told doctors that fewer patients
should receive Rezulin -- only those whose diabetes is not adequately
treated by competing medicines.  Rezulin is not intended as a first
line drug.
