GlaxoSmithKline Announces Resupply of Paxil CR to US Market
London and Philadelphia (27 June 2005) - GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) announced today
the availability of Paxil CR (paroxetine hydrochloride controlled release)
tablets in pharmacies across the United States. Other markets will follow
shortly thereafter.
GSK committed to resupplying pharmacies and wholesalers by mid-year after
disruption of supply following the company's voluntary withdrawal of the product
in February due to manufacturing issues. Both the company and the US Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) agreed at the time that the manufacturing issues posed
no significant safety issues for patients. GSK has identified the source of the
manufacturing issues and has implemented revisions to those processes, as
certified by a third party.
Paxil CR is approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder, panic
disorder, social anxiety disorder and premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
With respect to Avandamet (rosiglitazone maleate/metformin hydrochloride)
tablets, the Company anticipates resupplying the distribution channels within
two weeks.
