This drug has been on a "watch list" for quite a while.
It causes death in some patients. It may cause spikes in blood pressure while in a horizontal position...leading to strokes.
I found it rarely used in community practice in general, but we saw some use in nursing home patients. Since it is available now in generic, the patent holding company will probably accept the "withdraw" suggestion, and both forms will be no longer available.
