31. SmithKline Beecham Plc expects to begin selling its new heart drug Coreg in the U.S. soon, a company official said. 32. That ingredient is the base for several prescription heart drugs and can cause confusion, nausea and heart disturbances. 33. The company can also develop gene therapies, like its heart drug. 34. The company said a trial of its heart drug Reopro showed that it had reduced the risks of death and heart attacks following balloon angioplasty procedures. 35. The company said strong growth for the cholesterol drugs Zocor and Mevacor and the heart drug Vasotec continued to drive earnings growth in the first half. 36. The system administers a heart stimulating drug, arbutamine, and then monitors its levels to trigger the needed heart rate in a patient. 37. Vasomax is based on an existing heart drug, phentolamine, that has the side effect of causing erections in men. 38. When Food and Drug Administration officials approved the heart drug Posicor last June, they knew it could be lethal when mixed with certain other drugs. 39. Yesterday, the drug company said testing of ReoPro among patients with angina was cut short because the heart drug worked better than expected. 40. Zonagen still is awaiting results of a second trial of Vasomax, a former heart drug that the company is remarketing as an impotence treatment. |
