In Barbara Mintzes and colleagues' recent letter to CMAJ,1 an error occurred in the second sentence of the third paragraph. The number 2 should have read 24. The sentence should read, “However, physicians and health authorities in the UK have reported 24 times more adverse drug reactions, 11 times more deaths and 3.8 times more seizures per 1000 prescriptions than in Canada (Table 1).”
