[NPInfo] Chantix

[Nbalkon at aol.com]

Given the scenario of stroke 3 days post start of Chantix I  would:
 
1. This fellow most likely had an Autopsy.... 
 
2. Given Autopsy, the medical examiner customarily reviews the  case and 
contacts health professionals RT case.
 
3. Finding out what was ascertained through post mortem  examination 
regarding the decedent's "total picture" and any possible link  to Chantix is the 
place to begin. 
 
4. To do otherwise is supposition and can create an  unnecessary flurry of 
fingerpointing... litigation...etc etc....  The  survivors go through much as it 
is without having this added layer unless signs  point to this as a 
potential/viable explanation.
