Drs. took me off Tymlos two weeks ago for all the side effects I was having. What is a Black Box warning? I have never heard of it. Can you explain?

Black Box warning is from the FDA warning of potential adverse or life threatening effects from a particular drug.
You can probably find a list online . Doctors should know these before they prescribe. I think each drug has a particular warning. This is in additions to the usual list of potential side effects that you find with every drug and is included in the inserts of a lot of drugs. I get eye injections and checked for this BB warning after I received the first one.
