many of them have that listed. in fact, most drugs have the same exact side effects listed.

It's like the anti constipation drugs...one of the side effects is that it could cause diarrhea.
Or the drugs for over active bladder...it may cause constipation.

with the death of common sense and the introduction of frivolous lawsuits in this country its become necessary to print such stupid warnings. i guess if people and companies would become accountable for their own actions and their consequences this practice could be eliminated. as long as lawyers can make a profit off of stupidity the warnings r here to stay.
