FDA advisers back Abbott drug sertindole for schizophrenia
Advisers recommended approval of Abbott Laboratories sertindole to treat schizophrenia despite concerns about potential heart rhythm risks. Dr Lipicky warned of arrhythmia danger, while Dr Pritchett argued the risk is very low. After eight hours of debate the panel voted 4 to 2 that sertindole is safe enough to sell. Sertindole, marketed as Serlect, aims to offer a safer alternative to risperidone for patients who do not respond to current medicines. The FDA has not ruled, and Abbott plans further studies on the heart rhythm effects.
