In fact, in Germany it outsells the synthetic drug Prozac. It has been shown to be effective and adverse effects do not seem to be a problem. However, it does interfere with the disposition of other drugs. In particular, it will generally reduce the activity of certain other drugs which may lead to a failure of treatment.</p> Tue, 30 May 2017 17:05:38 +0000 Joe Schwarcz PhD and Ada McVean OSS Intern 2499 at /oss
