The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has allowed the makers of an anti-smoking drug to remove a black box warning from its packaging. The administration recently approved the removal of the warning from Pfizer Inc's drug Chantix. Pfizer was ordered back in 2009 to place a label on the drug warning consumers about potential health issues related to the drug. The reported side effects included mental health issues, including suicidal thoughts, hostility, and agitation.
