Prozac could reduce PMS misery, researchers find

A LOW daily dose of Prozac could end pre-menstrual misery for millions of women and their families, research suggests.

Tests on rats have shown that the antidepressant drug acts on the brain to block symptoms of pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS).

Scientists believe it could make a big difference to the 50% of women who are tormented by PMS each month a week or so before the start of their period.
