SELECTIVE SEROTONIN REUPTAKE INHIBITOR DRUGS (PROZAC AND C0PIES) - REFERENCES IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL JOURNAL (P.J.) AND OTHER PUBLICATIONS
P.J. 12.10.96 Page 511 Increase of 133.8% in prescribing of the serotonin reuptake inhibitor drugs like Prozac in the period 1993-1995 in the U.K. P.J. 2.11.96 Page 631 Only 6.3% of actual adverse drug reactions are ever notified on the "Yellow Card Scheme" in the U.K. P.J 3.8.96 Page 145 Serotonin reuptake inhibitor drugs like Prozac are numbers 4, 5 and 6th on the list of drugs causing fatal adverse drug reactions, total deaths reported 39. As only 6.3% of those actually dying from an adverse drugs reaction are ever reported this would translate into an actual total of about 619 deaths per year due to these drugs. (Of course those dying of the side effects of these, or any drugs, are never made aware that the drug has caused their serious or fatal condition) P.J. 21.9.96 Page 426 Article by Dista, the Manufacturer of Prozac, saying that patients should be given more information on the need to take the drugs for several months for best results. The article emphasises the importance of taking Prozac regularly. (no at all of giving patients information on the serious and fatal side-effects). P.J. 13.1.96. Page 47 Drugs and Driving. At least 4,500 deaths and 135,000 serious injuries in E.C. due to road accidents are attributable to drugs. The article mentions antidepressants as a cause of road accidents. Prozac lists "may impair skilled tasks like driving" as one side effect. P.J. 1.6.96 Page 750 A full page article (one of several over a period in the P.J.) on patients not taking their drugs. Merck, Sharp and Dohme funding research into what they see as a problems of why patients do "not comply" with taking their drugs. P.J. 25.11.95 Page R8 Annual Issue of 'Pharmacy and Practice and Research'. On the subject of "non-compliance" of patients not taking their drugs it states "not surprisingly side-effects in the past increase non-compliance". 28.1.94 "Public Eye" T.V. Programme broadcast on the fact that many death certificates are not worth the paper they are written on. Note the British National Formulary by the British Medical Association and the Pharmaceutical Society of the U.K. has a long list of possible side-effects with the serotonin reuptake inhibitor drugs. These include aggression, suicide, hair loss, serious and fatal precursor conditions to cancer blood disorders like aplastic anaemia, anorexia, sexual dysfunction and many more serious and possible fatal conditions. P.J. 11.12.93 Page 798. Reports that up to that date Dista the manufacturers had received 498 cases of hair loss as a side effect to Prozac. Note; Internationally recognised books like Bowman and Rands Textbook on Pharmacology state clearly that drugs, chemicals and ionizing radiation have exactly the same effect in causing conditions like aplastic anaemia a pre-leukaemia bone marrow disorder This effect is documented very well in the American Journal of Pathology 1949 on the Atomic Bomb Victims with their hair loss and often fatal bone marrow disorder of aplastic anaemia and then high levels of leukaemia later in those surviving for longer periods. The Observer Newspaper 13.10.96 Profits from Prozac running at over $2 billion a year. The article reports the murder of 20 of his work mates and then his suicide of one man after taking Prozac. This is just one of dozens of such reports in the press over a period. In American people committing such acts of violence, mass murders etc are being given very light sentences now if they can show they have been prescribed Prozac and have not committed acts of violence before. Note: Princess Diana’s driver was on Prozac and possibly committed suicide in spectacular fashion. (See Paris tribunal findings “death was due to drug (Prozac) and alcohol). Doubt the bit of alcohol would cause suicide, Prozac could.
