Seroquel Documents Now Available

As many of you know, a bunch of documents in the federal lawsuit against AstraZeneca over allegations surrounding its drug Seroquel were released in open court Feb. 26. The next day, I obtained the entire set of pdfs and after reading all of them over the weekend, I am now making them publicly available. The set of documents in .zip format runs to 44 MB. They will also become available on other sites soon.

It's going to be a day or so more before I write about them myself, beyond what I offered on the initial press accounts of these documents last week. There's enough evidence of downplaying of side effects and risks in these documents that I need to divorce my personal frustrations from the evidence. For those who don't know, I took the drug for 14 months in 2004 and 2005 and it caused me serious problems, including ones that linger to this day.

When I write about the documents more formally, I'll make individual documents available as I go along. So will others on the Net.

So far, I'd say the press has done an admirable job of getting the set of facts in these documents out into the public realm. I'll cover that in a separate post today. This set of documents is nothing like the Zyprexa documents in sheer volume (those documents are about 260 MBs zipped and there are hundreds of individual files) and, after my initial review of them, I don't see any major smoking guns that the media has missed so far.

One note: one of the documents was, as I got it on the 27th, scanned into a huge file (22 MBs) for four pages. So I printed it out and rescanned it and put it into the .zip file above as "Omnibus MSJ Exhibit 47fs.pdf," the "fs" denoting my rescan, which came in at a slim 1.5 MB, saving me about 20 MBs every time someone downloads the entire .zip. I assure you it's a true copy of what I got last week.

Meantime, if you want 'em, download 'em.
