First anti-depressant patch is approved by FDA
The US Food and Drug Administration has appoved a patch containing a medication called Emsam (selegiline), which can trigger sudden spikes in blood pressure if taken orally with certain foods or drinks, such as red wines or cheese.
This is a blessing for many of the drugs users. But unfortuaneltey will only help with low dose users. Higher dose users will still have strict limitations placed on the food and drink they can consume.
As with all approved antidepressants in the US, the product, developed by Somerset Pharmaceuticals Inc., will bear a warning of increased risk of suicide in children and adolescents. The FDA approved the patch for adults only.
