Can Strattera make you fat

Liver damage did not emerge as a Strattera side effect during short-term Strattera clinical trials of 6,000 patients. However, Straterra has now been on the market for several years. The longer time and larger pool of people taking the drug allowed a Strattera liver damage side effect to present itself in a small number of people taking Strattera.

The new package warning indicates that Strattera should be discontinued in patients who developed jaundice (yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes) or laboratory evidence of liver damage.

Signs and symptoms of liver damage include:

_ Itchy skin

_ Jaundice

_ Dark urine

_ Abdominal tenderness on the upper right side

_ Unexplained "flu-like" symptoms
