| Note |
Some antidepressants enable your patients to take life more easily. In depression the risk of suicide is increased. Many antidepressant drugs increase this risk considerably. Fluanxol is effective, non-sedating and quick-acting in the treatment of depression. In addition, clinical reports show that in overdose it lacks the acute toxicity of other antidepressants - up to 3 months' supply of tablets have been taken in unsuccessful suicide attempts. Fluanxol controls the depression and reduces the risk of fatality. |
