The figures below are extracted from UK Department of Health, Prescription Cost Analysis (PCA) Statistics for England .........available from the governments Office of National Statistics.
Since this data is obtained from records of prescription forms redeemed at pharmacy shops, they can be relied on to show accurate long term trends.
Not only does Paxil/Seroxat show a downward trend, that for Citalopram rises at a rate xtimes higher than Seroxat fell.
Thus clearly UK people are being placed at disproporinate increasing risk.
