While Drug Companies Seek Profits at All Costs, Who is Looking out for You?

Paxil is a popular antidepressant that's been on the market since 1992. That's why it is very concerning to learn that the drug, officially known as paroxetine, has been found to have a weak estrogenic effect that could promote the development and growth of breast tumors in women, according to a study reported on in The Los Angeles Times. Since approximately a quarter of women being treated for breast cancer suffer from depression, the effects could be particularly severe.

The estrogenic effects of paroxetine "has implications for patients with estrogen-sensitive breast cancer who are on other medications," says Shihuan Chen, professor and chairman of City of Hope's department of cancer biology and lead author of the study. While news like this is always disturbing, it also serves as a firm reminder of the importance of those whose job it is to defend the general public from companies that all-too-often act irresponsibly in the search for quick profits.
