In less than a year, there have been official alerts against 16 psychiatric drugs in children, on behalf of diverse North American governmental agencies.
This reaction culminated in September of 2005 with a report by the Committee of Children's Rights of the UN, against the false labeling of the Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Hyperactivity diagnose, as well as its treatment, 'by means of heavy psychiatric drugs which alter cognocitive and biological functions.

The use of psychiatric drug in children has been related to violence and suicide tragedies. This gave origin on behalf of the FDA to a 'Black Box Warning' in antidepressants, where it stands out that these drugs can cause suicidal and aggressive conducts in children and adults.
As far as Venezuela is concerned, the Drug Direction of the Venezuelan Health Ministry (MSDS) very gallantly sealed the destiny of the terrible anti-inflammatory Cox 2 drug group , inhibitors of cyclo-oxygenase 2, after determining its great danger for the cardiovascular system. In this sense I validate the work of the civil servants of the MSDS who took an historical step against the international pharma emporium.
The case of the COX2 -again- illustrates the mercenary vision of some multinational companies, who use mono-directional drugs to treat a single symptomatology, while at the same time it unleashes a cascade of reactions that aggravate the biophysical condition of patients by increasing their endogenous entropy.
The solution to the problem of harmful medicines lies in measuring the entropic effect that is to say to determine its increase or reduction. To see whether it contributes or attempts against health. This is possible nowadays by means of a series of vanguard equipment.
Finally, a reminder to the health authorities: there are still in Venezuela more than thirty very dangerous drugs, prohibited in other countries of the world, which attempt against our population; specially the use of antidepressants in children.
