Quoting: Anonymous Coward 199510...there have been post-marketing reports of suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, suicidal depression and completed suicides in children, adolescents and adults taking Strattera. This is duplicated text of a letter from Eli Lilly Canada Inc. Important Safety Information on Strattera (atomoxetine hydrochloride) September 28, 2005 Subject: WARNING for atomoxetine regarding the potential for behavioural and emotional changes, including risk of self-harm Eli Lilly Canada Inc. would like to inform you of important new safety information regarding the possibility that atomoxetine may be associated with behavioural and emotional changes, including risk of self harm. The new warning to be incorporated in the product monograph of STRATTERA (atomoxetine hydrochloride) will reflect the information provided below. POTENTIAL ASSOCIATION WITH THE OCCURRENCE OF BEHAVIOURAL AND EMOTIONAL CHANGES, INCLUDING SELF-HARM Paediatrics: Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial Data Recent analyses of placebo-controlled clinical trial data showed that suicidal ideation was more frequently observed in clinical trials among children and adolescents treated with STRATTERA compared to those treated with placebo. There was one suicide attempt in the atomoxetine treated group during the trial. As described in the product monograph, there have been post-marketing reports of suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, suicidal depression and completed suicides, in children, adolescents and adults taking Strattera. Rigorous clinical monitoring for suicidal ideation or other indicators of potential for suicidal behaviour is advised in patients of all ages. This includes monitoring for agitation-type emotional and behavioural changes. Background Strattera is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, indicated for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children 6 years of age or older, adolescents and adults. Strattera is not indicated for the treatment of major depressive episodes and/or anxiety. The findings described here resulted from a meta analysis of data from placebo-controlled clinical trials of atomoxetine. All events of suicidal thoughts occurred in children between 7 and 12 years old. There were no events in older adolescents, who comprised about 25 percent of the study population. Analysis of adult data in clinical trials did not indicate an increased risk of suicide related events among patients treated with atomoxetine. The consumer information section of the Strattera product monograph will also be updated to reflect this new warning, and to advise patients to inform their doctor immediately if these symptoms develop or worsen during Strattera treatment: Patients may have an increased risk of side-effects such as suicidal thoughts, hostility, and mood swings. You or your caregiver should inform your doctor right away if any of these symptoms develop or worsen after beginning treatment with STRATTERA. Reporting rates determined on the basis of spontaneously reported post-marketing adverse events are generally presumed to underestimate the risks associated with drug treatments. The identification, characterization and management of marketed health product-related adverse reactions are dependent on the active participation of healthcare professionals in adverse reaction reporting programs. Any occurrences of any serious and/or unexpected adverse reactions in patients receiving Strattera should be reported to either or both Eli Lilly Canada Inc. and/or Health Canada at the following addresses: Consumer Response Centre Eli Lilly Canada Inc. 3650 Danforth Avenue Toronto, Ontario M1N 2E8 Canada [link to www.hc-sc.gc.ca] |

The contents of Atomoxetine Hydrochloride Tablets and Capsules may cause burns or permanent tissue damage to the eyes. Effects of exposure may include tremors, nervousness, anxiety, nausea, headache, change in blood pressure, and increased heart rate. Routes of Entry: Inhalation and skin contact. ---- Atomoxetine hydrochloride may be harmful if ingested, may be fatal if inhaled, may cause burns or permanent tissue damage to the eyes. Effects of atomoxetine hydrochloride may include gastrointestinal (nausea, vomiting), fatigue, decreased appetite, dizziness, mood swings, insomnia, and increased blood pressure and heart rate, liver toxicity, dilated pupils, and tremors. Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Atomoxetine hydrochloride - Individuals with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, or on monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) therapy. Notes to Physician: Atomoxetine - An airway should be established. Monitoring of cardiac and vital signs is recommended, along with appropriate symptomatic and supportive measures. Gastric lavage may be indicated if performed soon after ingestion. Because atomoxetine is highly protein-bound, dialysis is not likely to be useful in the treatment of overdose. ---- Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: As a finely divided material, may form dust mixtures in air which could explode if subjected to an ignition source. Hazardous Combustion Products: May emit toxic chloride fumes when exposed to heat or fire. Extinguishing Media: Use water, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam, or Halon. ---- Incompatibility: May react with strong oxidizing agents (e.g., peroxides, permanganates, nitric acid, etc.). Hazardous Decomposition: May emit toxic chloride fumes when heated. ---- Toxicological Information - Atomoxetine hydrochloride Rat (fasted) median lethal dose 196 mg/kg. oral Rat (fed), median lethal dose estimated 300 mg/kg. oral with mortality, myoclonic jerking. Target Organ Effects: Atomoxetine hydrochloride - Hepatotoxicity (increased liver weight, hepatocellular vacuolation, increased serum ALT).. Clinical signs: pupillary light response, tremors, dilated pupils, slight delay in puberty and in epididymal sperm counts. --- Environmental Summary Atomoxetine hydrochloride - Material is highly toxic to green algae, moderately toxic to aquatic invertebrates and fish, and is practically non-toxic to activated sludge microorganisms. The solubility of the material in water is high. The atomoxetine concentration in activated municipal sludge declined after 24 hours primarily due to sorption with very little loss attributed to biodegradation. Material will not bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms. --- U.S. Regulatory Information - Atomoxetine hydrochloride Classification Xn (Harmful) Xi (Irritant) N (Dangerous for the Environment) R 22 - Harmful if swallowed. R 41 - Risk of serious damage to eyes. R 50 - Very toxic to aquatic organisms. more.. [link to ehs.lilly.com] |
