FDA approves Ziagen AIDS drug amid life threatening risk
The FDA approved Glaxo Wellcome Ziagen abacavir for use in multidrug AIDS cocktails while warning of a rare but life threatening hypersensitivity reaction. About 5 percent of patients may react, typically within six weeks, prompting immediate stop and medical advice. Ziagen will be in pharmacies next month with a yearly cost of 3540 dollars, priced lower than a new once a day protease inhibitor option.
