[Ads-l] like = 'as is the case with; as with''

[Laurence Horn]

This strikes me as more a case of lax syntax (maybe a blend of "Like all blood thinners, Xarelto should not be taken..." and "As with all blood thinners, don't take Xarelto...") than a new sense of "like" to be incorporated into a lexical entry.
