Kentucky Chantix and Zyban Attorney: Smoking Drugs May Have Caused Suicide Attempts
Two popular smoking cessation prescription drugs have been linked to suicide attempts by users of the drugs. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning on the two smoking-cessation drugs after receiving reports of suicides and suicide attempts by those under treatment. Pfizer, the maker of Chantix, and GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of Zyban, will add a black-box warning to the packaging information. The manufacturers will also now be required to disclose the suicide risk when advertising the products.
Bahe Cook Cantley & Jones prescription drug and product liability lawyer Larry Jones says, "It is about time that consumers are warned of the suicide risks associated with these drugs. If these warnings are widely publicized, it now allows consumers to make an informed choice before putting these drugs in their body."
