Serzone Information

Serzone (nefazodone hydrochloride), Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, is a medicine used to treat depression. SERZONE is thought to treat depression by correcting an imbalance in the amounts of certain natural chemicals, such as serotonin and norepinephrine, which are in your brain.

Cases of life-threatening hepatic failure have been reported in patients treated with SERZONE.

The reported rate in the United States is about 1 case of liver failure resulting in death or transplant per 250,000 – 300,000 patient-years of SERZONE treatment. This represents a rate of about 3-4 times the estimated background rate of liver failure. This rate is an underestimate because of under reporting, and the true risk could be considerably greater than this.

If you get any of the following symptoms while taking SERZONE, call your doctor right away because you may be developing a liver problem:

*Yellowing of the skin or whites of eyes (jaundice)
*Unusually dark urine
*Loss of appetite that lasts several days or longer
*Nausea
*Abdominal (lower stomach) pain

People who currently have liver problems should not take SERZONE

The most common side effects of SERZONE are sleepiness, dry mouth, nausea, dizziness, constipation, weakness, lightheadedness, problems with vision, and confusion. Call your doctor right away if you have any of the following side effects:

*Yellowing of the skin or whites of eyes (jaundice)
*Unusually dark urine
*Loss of appetite that lasts several days or longer
*Severe nausea
*Abdominal (lower stomach) pain
*Rash or hives
*Seizure (convulsion)
*Fainting
*Erection that lasts too long
