Lilly Denies Missing Prozac Papers

[Khephra]

INDIANAPOLIS -- The drugmaker Eli Lilly & Co. said that internal documents about the safety of its popular anti-depressant Prozac which a British medical journal reported as long missing were given years ago to federal regulators and to lawyers suing the company.

The British Medical Journal said last week it had given U.S. regulators confidential Lilly documents suggesting a link between Prozac and a heightened risk of suicide attempts and violence.

Indianapolis-based Lilly said it received copies of the documents on Monday from the office of U.S. Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-N.Y., to whom the journal had given the records. Lilly said in a statement late Tuesday that the records were the same that had been given to the Food and Drug Administration and other investigators more than a decade ago.

"Our review of the documents shows Lilly has lived up to its commitment of full and important disclosures on this topic," Alan Breier, Lilly's vice president and chief medical officer, said in the company statement.
