Rx: Finding Drug Information

Practice: Recent News

Your triage nurse receives a call from a distraught mother whose teenaged son is receiving Prozac for depression. Someone told her they had read in a magazine somewhere that children on antidepressants may be at greater suicidal risk.

Your triage nurse makes the appointment, and informs you of the concern. You remember mention of this topic in one of your recent Table of Contents email alerts but you always delete these promptly. You need to get the details in order to counsel this woman.
