Congressmen Call For End To Chantix Tests On Vets

ABC News reports that at least three US Reps are calling for an end to tests of the stop smoking drug Chantix, which has been linked to erratic behavior in some vets in the VA-administered study. Reportedly, the VA knew of problems with the drug but did nothing to warn much less monitor the vets in the study.

I'm sure we've not heard the last of this odd moment in medical research at the VA, nor of problems with Chantix, which has become the Paxil of smoking cessation drugs.
