United Press International (UPI). 2002. Anti-malaria drug Lariam and suicide. International Desk, 21 May 2002:
"WASHINGTON, May 21 (UPI) - Mounting evidence suggests the anti-malaria drug Lariam - prescribed to Peace Corps volunteers, travelers and U.S. soldiers - has triggered mental problems so severe that in a small percentage of users it has led to suicide. Lariam - also known as mefloquine - is a product of Hoffmann-La Roche, a giant Swiss pharmaceutical company with U.S. headquarters in Nutley, N.J. Lariam has been prescribed to more than 22 million people worldwide since 1985. It was cleared for use in the United States in 1989. Some health experts charge that neither patients nor doctors in the United States are being adequately warned about the risk of suicide from taking Lariam, which is prescribed by U.S. doctors 1,000 times every day."
