Holland Refuses To Approve Seroquel For Depression
According to Reuters, the Netherlands Health Authority, acting as a reference body for the European Union, shot down AstraZeneca’s application to have Seroquel approved as a treatment for depression.
“The Dutch decision to refuse approval for the medicine in MDD, because of a negative benefit-to-risk balance, comes after Seroquel XR won partial support from U.S. advisers as a treatment for the same condition last month.”
AstraZeneca has submitted its application to the European Medicines Agency. The drug was reportedly approved for depression in Canada last month (news to me).
