Dear Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency,

Can you please provide me with any correspondence with Eli Lilly regarding the sexual side effects of fluoxetine in rats:

1. I would like copies of any correspondence regarding studies into fluoxetine causing testicular toxicity in rats and fluoxetine disrupting the sexual development of male rats.

2. I would like to know whether the MHRA called for any studies to investigate the mechanisms by which fluoxetine causes this damage (testicular lesions and disrupted sexual development) in rats.

Yours faithfully,

Sarah Browne
