Safety of Oral Contraceptives

Abstract

skilled psychotherapists.A patient of my own who has been referred for L.S.D. treat- ment with great success may have therapy terminated soon.It is difficult to understand how a reput- able drug company such as Sandoz can act in this way without consultation with the profession, who have enjoyed free access up until now to the use of any drug which benefited their patients.There has been little evidence of misuse of this drug in Great Britain in comparison, for example, with Drinamyl and dexamphetamine, both of which are still freely available to doctors.I believe and hope that this petulant and ill-considered decision may be revoked, failing which action there can be little doubt that much more damage will be done to the public image of Sandoz than could ever have resulted from misuse of a drug which in any case is now in the U.S.A. freely available from illicit sources.-Iam, etc., Hornchurch, Essex.
