Prozac

Prozac is quite possibly the most popular and widely recognized antidepressant drug in the world. Since it was first introduced to the market in 1988, Prozac sales usually net its creator, Eli Lily & Co, $2.6 billion dollars a year. Prozac seemed to be a wonder drug, a pill that delivered safe and effective treatment of depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bulimia nervosa, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and panic disorder.

Unfortunately, by the late 1990s reports began to surface about serious side effects of Prozac. Prozac is the only antidepressant certified to be safe for children, but many children who took the drug began to show suicidal tendencies. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration ordered Eli Lily to change the labeling on the packaging of Prozac to reflect the danger to children and young adults.

Furthermore, antidepressants are now being linked to an increase in deaths of people with coronary artery disease, or CAD. A Duke University study suggested that people with CAD who used antidepressants like Prozac died at a rate of 21.4% compared to people with CAD who did not take antidepressants. After adjusting for factors such as previous health conditions, demographics, and state of depression, Prozac use increased mortality by almost 62%.

If you or someone you love was one of the millions of people who took Prozac and suffered the negative side effects, you could be eligible to collect financial compensation for your loss or injury.
