Spain’s Normon says drug not behind Panama deaths
PANAMA CITY (Reuters) – Spanish drug maker Normon SA said on Sunday its hypertension tablets were not the cause of a mystery illness in Panama that has killed 20 people over the past month.
Panama withdrew some 2 million Lisinopril tablets over the weekend from pharmacies, hospitals and private clinics after noticing that nine of the people who fell sick with the illness had been taking the drug. Of those nine, five have died.
