Eli Lilly and Pfizer damaging heart valves
Parkinson’s drugs linked to heart damage – Jan. 3, 2007
Patients taking the drugs pergolide, developed by Eli Lilly (Charts) and sold under the brand name Permax, and cabergoline, developed by Pfizer (Charts) and sold under the brand Dostinex, had a sharply higher risk of heart valve damage than those taking other therapies, the studies said.
Big Pharma can’t seem to stay out of trouble these days. Pfizer also has hiked its drug prices.
