Antidepressants to Get U.S. Warning on Suicide Risks
May 2 (Bloomberg)
Antidepressant drugs, including Wyeth’s top-selling Effexor, need new warnings of the risks of suicidal thoughts and behavior among young adults, U.S. regulators said. The Food and Drug Administration asked the makers of 36 antidepressants to extend an existing precaution for children and adolescents to cover people ages 18 to 24 when they first use the drugs, the agency said in a statement today. Wyeth, Eli Lilly & Co. and other drugmakers must revise their labels within 30 days.
