A defense committee report has fallen short of recommending a full ban on issuing the psychosis-linked, anti-malaria drug Lariam to British troops.
The Ministry of Defense (MoD) is facing hundreds of lawsuits by military veterans and personnel over the once-a-week treatment, which is largely outlawed in the US military after it was linked to a massacre of Afghan civilians and referred to by one US Army expert as a zombie drug.” ...
Recent figures suggest up to 1,000 soldiers have sought psychiatric help after taking the drug and one military law firm claims to have been contacted by up to 470 people affected by the psychosis-linked pill during military service.
...
Lariam has continued to be used despite evidence linking it to the 2012 Panjwai massacre in which a US soldier slaughtered 17 Afghan civilians after taking the drug. Sergeant Robert Bales has since been sentenced to life imprisonment.
