The ADHD drug Strattera – 55 young persons have died

Stockholm 4/14/2008 4:15:47 AM

New reports indicate that 55 children and teenagers have died while “treated” with the ADHD drug Strattera, in the last 5 years – 31 of them committed suicide. In total there are reports of 102 instances of death – 57 of them from suicide.

 

The regulatory agency in UK, The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency – MHRA, said they didn’t know of the number of persons who have died. They had to ask the manufacturer, Eli Lilly. And the answer from Lilly was that reports of 41 fatal cases existed in their data base for Strattera – but only 24 of these should be counted.

 

From Lilly’s answer it was clear that this was a sensitive question and the company wanted to convince the MHRA not to release the data. Lilly also wanted to have information in case the regulatory agency anyway decided to make the figures known – so that they could prepare answers for media questions.

 

And Lilly should get even more questions to answer as newly revealed and compiled data indicate that 102 persons have died while under Strattera “treatment” – including 55 children and teenagers.

 

A request for a full independent investigation into ALL instances of death in connection with Strattera has been submitted to the MHRA.
