Sept. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Makers of antidepressants including
Pfizer Inc., Wyeth and GlaxoSmithKline Plc should be required to
put stronger warning labels on their drugs, a U.S. advisory panel
said.
A Food and Drug Administration commission voted 27-0 to tell
the agency that risk warnings should be strengthened for all nine
drugs in the review. The panel also voted 25-1, with one
abstention, to find that antidepressants may raise the risk of
suicidal behavior in children and teenagers. The voting came
during two days of hearings in Bethesda, Maryland.
