Seroxat: A story about Politicians, Pharmacological Corporations, Academics and other corrupt b*****ds
Speaker: Dr Paul Duckett
http://www2.hud.ac.uk/hhs/capr/seminars/
Manchester Metropolitan University
Date: 20 October 2011 (Thursday - note change of day for this seminar only)
Venue to be confirmed
This seminar is being hosted jointly by the Centre for Applied Psychological Research and the Centre for Health and Social Care Research
This seminar will describe the work of the Seroxat and SSRI User Group in the UK. GlaxoSmithKline, a multinational pharmaceutical corporation, manufactures and markets the drug Paroxetine - a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) used in the treatment of, inter alia, ‘depression’ and ‘anxiety disorders’. The drug is marketed under the brand names ‘Seroxat’ in the UK and ‘Paxil’ in Australia and the USA. The Seroxat and SSRI User Group believe there is now considerable evidence to suggest that Paroxetine is clinically ineffective and potentially toxic for adults as well as children, yet Paroxetine remains one of the world’s best selling prescription drugs. I will describe how the UK political system, the medical profession, and the university sector have colluded with the pharmaceutical industry to promote GSK shareholder profits at the expense of public health
