Here we go again! See no. 8 listed in this article...Avonex, Betaseron and Rebif. What does this mean? That if you don't keep up with your labs that it could cause irreversable liver damage? This article doesn't really explain why it is on the 10 Deadliest Drugs list.
it looks like the list is simply number of deaths in the time period of the study. it doesn't even seem to take into consideration the number of people taking each of the drugs.
i'm guessing that's why tylenol made the list? simply because it is one of the most administered drugs?

This is the research article from which the writers derived that article and it does clarify the surrounding circumstances a little.
In fact, because the researchers were compiling and disseminating preexisting material, most of the paper is taken up with explanations of their source materials and use of it.l http://www.ismp.org/pressroom/PR20070910_1.pdf
