Well, my Aropax starter pack from 2002 arrived in the post. It's a DeLorean trip back to 2002 folks and an insight into how GlaxoSmithKline Australia promoted the use of their wonder drug. For those that don't know, Aropax is the brand name used in Australia for Seroxat, which, confusingly, is known as Paxil in the US and Canada.
The information that came with the starter pack is full of... let's just say misleading information regarding reasons why the patient was depressed.
I've shot a short video that explains it better. I'll upload some photo's of the pack soon.
You shocked?
I'm thinking Huggy Bear and Starsky & Hutch!
