Dangerous Drugs - Strattera
Strattera is a popular attention deficit disorder (ADD) medication produced by Eli Lilly. In September of 2005, the makers of Strattera announced a black-box warning was to be added to the drug. The FDA issued a health advisory in September of 2005 regarding clinical trial data submitted by Eli Lilly.
FDA officials are also requiring Eli Lilly to create a medication guide for patients and health care providers regarding the new black box warning. Black box warnings are some of the most prominent and alarming medical warnings assigned to prescription drugs.
Strattera has been shown to cause liver damage in young children. It is also linked with suicidal thoughts or actions, weight loss and slowed growth, and impaired motor skills. An approximate 2 million patients, both adults and children have been prescribed Strattera since it was granted FDA approval.
