ABVC BioPharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABVC), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on innovative treatments in ophthalmology, CNS (central nervous system), and oncology/hematology, today announced in response to the discontinuation of Prozac[1] due to increasing concerns around side effects, ABVC believes its ABV-1504, which has the API, "Radix Polygala", known as Polygala tenuifolia Willd or PDC-1421, can fill this void in the mental health market. With a robust formulation designed to reduce adverse effects, PDC-1421 promises to offer a safer and more effective solution for patients dealing with MDD and ADHD[2]. ABVC's ABV-1504 has completed Phase II clinical trials and is heading towards Phase III trials worldwide. ABVC holds patents for MDD and ADHD that have been approved in the USA and other countries and are valid until 2041.

The suspension of Prozac production highlights a rising demand for safer, all-natural alternatives to advanced mental health treatments, marking a pivotal moment for the pharmaceutical and mental health awareness industry. ABVC's ABV-1504 and 1505 have undergone rigorous clinical testing to ensure safety and efficacy, positioning them as real potential options for patients needing reliable, low-risk treatments.
