[YSPNetwork] FDA Medication Guide for Antidepressants in youth

[Donna NOONAN]

YSPNetworkers,
FYI, The FDA has written a proposed Medication Guide, "About Using Antidepressants in Children or Teenagers:"

<http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/antidepressants/SSRIMedicationGuide.htm>
They've sent this Medication Guide to all the sponsors on October 21, 2004. To inform other groups and individuals with an interest in this Medication Guide, it has also been linked to the Antidepressants web page:
<http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/antidepressants/default.htm>. The FDA hopes to finalize the language of this Medication Guide by December 2004 so that the Medication Guide can be produced and made available to patients by the end of January 2005.
