Serzone Warning from Med Watch

Posted by IsoM on January 10, 2002, at 0:31:54

I'm not trying to scare anyone at all, but I subscribe to Med Watch & receieved this notice today:
For what it's worth -
FDA and BMS added a Black Box Warning and strengthened the WARNINGS, CONTRAINDICATIONS, and PRECAUTIONS sections of the label for Serzone, an
antidepressant drug. Rare cases of liver failure leading to transplant and/or death in patients have been reported. A new Patient Package Insert is provided in the product packaging. For more information, including the revised label, PPI, and Dear Healthcare Professional letter, go to the MedWatch 2002 Safety Information page at http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/SAFETY/2002/safety02.htm#serzon
I'v never used Serzone & really have no idea as to its side-effects except dizziness that I observed in my son & a friend who both used it for a while.
