Abbott Laboratories popular anti-AIDS drug Norvir may harm the heart
when used in combination with another treatment used in the treatment
of HIV, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said this morning.
The FDA said preliminary data suggest “Invirase in combination with
Norvir may have potentially important adverse effects on the heart,”
the agency said.
“Review of the data is ongoing,” the FDA said. “Preliminary findings suggest that some patients using Invirase and Norvir may be at an increased risk for heart abnormalities leading to irregular heart rhythms.”
The FDA said patients using Invirase should talk to their doctors and report any side effects to the FDA’s MedWatch program: http://www.fda.gov/safety/MedWatch/default.htm
Abbott could not be reached this morning for comment.
i would not have believed this had been impressive a handful of years back yet somehow its interesting just how time varies the way you have an understanding of unusual creative concepts, thanks regarding the post it is really pleasant to look over anything sensible once in a while instead of the widely seen nonsense mascarading as blogs on the net, cheers
I can’t say that I agree with you on this completely, but you definitely make some valid points.
A quick survey of the prevailing market price of Viagra tablets will suggest that at this rate, only the elitist few will be afford a constant use of the little blue pills, an especially worrying trend.
Thank you for sharing such an topical article with all of us. I’ve bookmarked your blog will come back for a re-read again. Keep up the good work.
Thanks very much for putting together this great site.
