Legal Action Over Mefloquine (Malaria Drug)
Date: Nov 7, 2004 9:32 PM
Sadly our greedy medical Mafia
(http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_ ... maceutical_
business/index.htm),
true this name, have chosen the far primitive but profitable drugs over
much simpler and effective methods such as that discussed in "Blood
Electrification Effectiveness On Malaria"
(http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2 ... ation_effe
ctiveness_on_malaria.htm).
Imagine what could be done if, even some of this useless, drug research
money could have been used to refine and enhance our immune system?

Australian army faces legal action over mefloquine

The Australian army and Roche Products Australia face a class action after
allegations that army personnel had serious side effects after being
prescribed mefloquine hydrochloride (Lariam) as part of a research trial
for a new anti-malarial drug.
Since 1998, the Army Malaria Institute, a research organisation of the
Australian Army, has been working with the Royal Thai Army and the US Army
to trial an experimental drug, tafenoquine. In 1999, the institute, in
collaboration with SmithKline Beecham, started a trial reportedly of about
600 Australian troops serving as part of the United Nations peacekeeping
forces in Bougainville and later in East Timor. Mefloquine was used as the
comparator.
Simon Harrison, a lawyer with the Brisbane based legal firm Quinn and
Scattini, plans to file legal complaints in the next few weeks on behalf of
numerous service personnel, complaining about serious side effects from the
drug. Mr Harrison says that army personnel were not adequately informed
about the potential side effects. The legal action will allege that the
plaintiffs had depression, kidney damage, paranoia, and suicidal thoughts
after taking the drug.
The Australian drug regulator, the Therapeutic Goods Administration,
requires Roche Australia to include a four page product information sheet
with prescriptions of the drug. The current information sheet, prepared in
1998, warns consumers who experience "depression, restlessness, confusion,
feeling anxious or nervous" to inform their doctor immediately. "Other side
effects not listed above may also occur in some patients," it states.
