Medical Forum / General / Alternative / January 2008Pfizer today updated the CHANTIX label
Based upon post-marketing reports first reflected in a November 2007 labeling update, Pfizer today updated the CHANTIX label in the U.S. to include a warning that patients who are attempting to quit smoking with CHANTIX should be observed for serious neuropsychiatric symptoms, including changes in behavior, agitation, depressed mood, suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior. http://clipmarks.forbes.com/clipper/Forbes+Business/clip/792C0C44-6D1D-46E5-8ED6 -7828EA392337/ > Based upon post-marketing reports first reflected in a November 2007 Donna, what does this have to do with alternative medicine? >> Based upon post-marketing reports first reflected in a November 2007 > >Donna, what does this have to do with alternative medicine? An EEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVIIIIIILLLLL drug company has found that a medication intended to help people stop smoking may enhance some of the normally-experienced psychological effects of withdrawal from nicotine addiction. Tobacco is a plant and nicotine is a natural chemical. Therefore, there are two ways this story is related to alternative medicine: 1) It provides an opportunity for pharma bashing 2) The pharma company was making a product which deterred people from taking a natural medication.

Donna was posted the news. That news being that a pharmaceutical company had taken action as the result of post-market experience with a medication. I suppose to you this form of corporate responsibility is unusual, but you do support the quackery industry where post-market record keeping is non-existent. If you ever decide to give up smoking, Jan, you might very well experience all these effects without any drug being involved at all. I had them all (except those related to suicide) and I was taking nothing.

I can only imagine the effect on someone addicted to both after getting a treatment that causes them to become totally ineffective. | Bogus as it might seem, people, this really is a deliverable | | e-mail address.

Since you've been informed of the truth, repeatedly, your statement is a lie. This newsgroup exists for the discussion of health alternatives, both pro & con. Since you and Ilena just want to talk-up mainstream medicine, you should take it to a newgroup that discusses mainstream medicine. Otherwise, people will be posting stuff about who works at what college, what religion a given poster is, and stalking people's family members. What's the matter, Jan, got nothing to say about health alternatives? > Donna, what does this have to do with alternative medicine? I am going to start charging you a dollar for everytime you say this!
