Warnings planned for tranquilizer labels and warns
Washington AP The FDA will draft consumer leaflets to warn users that tranquilizers may cause dependence and should not be mixed with alcohol. The notices would inform women of possible birth defects or early pregnancy risks if taken during the first three months of pregnancy. Commissioner Donald Kennedy ordered the agency to prepare the leaflets for drugs such as Valium Librium and metrobamate and noted they accounted for substantial sales. The FDA will require a lengthy process before manufacturers insert the leaflets, with birth control pills and estrogens as the only other prescription drugs that now carry patient warnings.
