FDA halts distribution of Paxil CR |
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. officials on Friday seized batches of
GlaxoSmithKline Plc's diabetes drug Avandamet and controlled-release
antidepressant Paxil CR because of concerns over manufacturing
quality.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration saw no immediate risk to
consumers from the two drugs made by Europe's biggest drugmaker but
said the manufacturing failed to meet standards for safety, strength,
quality and purity.
Patients were advised to continue taking their medication but talk to
their doctor about possibly using alternative drugs until the
manufacturing problems are corrected.
The FDA found that Paxil CR tablets could split, possibly giving
patients a portion lacking any active ingredient or active ingredient
without controlled release.

I take Paxil CR, but was already thinking about changing to something else.
I'll have to mention this to my doctor. So far I hadn't noticed any
problems.
