Scientists are currently investigating Chantix, a drug manufactured by Pfizer Inc., that is meant to help smokers quit their habit.
More research is being done on the drug since there have been reports of increased thoughts of suicide and violent behavior in those taking the medications.
FDA Reports Risks
Earlier this week the FDA announced that more and more reports of erratic behavior in patients on the drug have been reported to them.
Even though these reports are new, the FDA has still issued a warning to health care providers and patients to be on the lookout for any erratic behavior.
Chantix sales reportedly reached $101 million last year in the U.S.
Chantix May Have Deadly Side Effects
The FDA has narrowed their investigation in on a death that is speculated to have been caused by the medication.
Carter Albrecht was a musician living in Dallas, when the medication allegedly altered his judgment and cost him his life.
Albrecht's family is blaming Chantix and its producers for his unexpected death.
Reports explain that Albrecht was killed by his girlfriend's neighbor when he went into a rage and tried to kick down the man's door.
