SERZONE FACTS

Serzone, by Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. is a drug that is used by some physicians to treat depression.

It was put on the U.S. market with no warnings whatsoever regarding potential liver damage even though pre-clinical trials showed that there was the possibility of liver damage to humans.

After Serzone was introduced, the Federal Drug Administration required the manufacturer to place a warning on the drug's label. That warning, for the first time, warned of "rare reports of liver necrosis and liver failure, in some cases leading to liver transplantation and/or death."

Within six months, the government forced the manufacture to remove the word "rare" from their warning on the label and to put a "Black Box Warning" on the drug.

It was only after the government's forced Black Box Warning that Bristol-Myers Squibb told physicians and other health care providers that Serzone could cause liver failure and death.

According to the manufacturer and the government, the side effects of Serzone include jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), dark colored urine, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and physical discomfort or uneasiness.
