Glaxo - Working to Resolve Drug Problems Quickly
LONDON (Reuters) Mar 04 - GlaxoSmithKline Plc said on Friday it was working to resolve manufacturing problems with its antidepressant Paxil CR and diabetes drug Avandamet as fast as possible.
But both drugs will be in short supply in the United States in the short term, following the seizure of batches by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Europe's biggest drugmaker said on Friday.
"GSK believes that the manufacturing issues do not pose a health risk to patients. GSK agrees with the FDA that patients who use these two medicines should continue taking their tablets and talk with their healthcare provider if they have questions," the British-based company said in a statement.
"The company is working with the FDA to resolve these issues as quickly as possible."
