The meeting with the MHRA went well and we (Maddie, Janine and her
mum and myself) made a number of recommendations to the MHRA
regarding Seroxat for example that the information leaflet needs to
be radically changed to include for example 'why' alcohol is to be
avoided, rather than stating on the PIL (patient information leaflet)
that it should not be consumed, and for the leaflet to be in plain
english! and not just a lot of confusing medical terms as in previous
attempts. A number of good points were raised and these will be
posted in summary form as and when I get back home from London
tomorrow :) A productive meeting with patients (your) views being
heard for a change!!!

I also included a number of relevant posts including yours Cheryl and
the MHRA SSRI Working Group will be going over them in due course,
and will get back to us with regard todays meeting.
