: A French father-of-two is to take GlaxoSmithKline to court on
: Tuesday, alleging the British firm's drug to treat Parkinson's
: disease turned him into a gay sex and gambling addict. The
: 51-year-old's lawyers say their client's behaviour changed
: radically after he was first administered the drug in 2003 for
: the illness, which causes tremors, slows movement and disrupts
: speech.

: Didier Jambart, a married father-of-two who says he has
: attempted suicide three times, claims he became addicted to
: Internet gambling, losing the family's savings and stealing to
: feed his habit. He also became a compulsive gay sex addict and
: began exposing himself on the Internet and cross-dressing. His
: risky sexual encounters led to him being raped, his lawyers
: said.
:
: The behaviour stopped when he stopped taking the drug in 2005
: but by then he had been demoted in his defence ministry job and
: was suffering from psychological trauma resulting from his
: addictions, his lawyers said.
:
: The plaintiff is seeking a total of 450,000 euros ($610,000) in
: damages from Glaxo, which he accuses of selling a
: "defective" drug, and from his neurologist for having
: failed to properly inform him about the drug. The drug, Requip,
: has been known for years to have undesired side effects but a
: warning only appeared on its package insert in 2006, his lawyers
: said.
:
: Glaxo said it did not wish to comment on the case.
