The internal documents suggested GSK knew there was a problem with the effectiveness of Seroxat in children five years before the drug was banned.

Dispicable!Yet again a pharmaceutical/chemical company gets away with scurrilous behaviour.

tbh I believe prescribing drugs for the treatment of depression is wrong, anyway, let alone for young people - soma didn't work in Brave New World, after all ..

- that isn't meant to ignore the culpability of the manufacturers in keeping quiet about the analysis of results after trials are complete, though
