Problems with references

Hi. Checking the references of the article octamoxin We've found out that there are two references to articles that we can't verify.

The first one is Levy J, Michel-Ber E (1966). "[Relations between the antidepressive effects of octamoxine revealed by 3 pharmacological tests and inhibition of cerebral monoamine oxidase in mice]". Thérapie (in French). 21 (4): 929–45. PMID 5925088."
The second one is Gayral L, Stern H, Puyuelo R (1966). "[Indications and results of the treatment of mental depression by octamoxine (ximaol)]". Thérapie (in French). 21 (5): 1183–90. PMID 5976767

The problem is that these two articles have nothing to do with the withdrawal of the drug, but with "indications for use", one; and "tests on mice", the other.

Also, the reference to Dictionary of Pharmacological+Agents only mentions the drug, not the withdrawal from market.

At the same time, the link to medicinescomplete.com is broken; even using webarchive and the webcache from Google we couldn't find info.

The structure of both references (Gayral & Levy) it's the same as the ones presented in Pubmed, as if copypasted. We conclude that the author, Vanished 45kd09la13, just copied the info of the "cite" and pasted into the Wiki. He didn't show the exact page of the cite passage. We can't find the original french articles. StormBringer (talk) 14:09, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
