Prozac Pilots May Fly as FAA Drops Ban on Medicines

April 2 (Bloomberg) -- Pilots taking Prozac will be permitted to fly as U.S. regulators drop a decades-old ban on four antidepressants including the Eli Lilly and Co. drug.

Risks from side effects, such as drowsiness, associated with the medications used to treat depression don’t pose a safety threat, the Federal Aviation Administration said today.

“We have a better understanding of the drugs,” FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt said in an interview. “We know more about the illness, we know more about how to treat it.”
