HL Deb 06 November 1986 vol 481 c1244WA
Lord Molloy

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What action they will take to investigate claims by certain doctors at St. Thomas's Hospital, London, that the heart drug Amrinone manufactured by Sterling-Winthrop is neither effective nor safe.

Baroness Trumpington

An investigation is not necessary since Sterling-Winthrop has not been granted a product licence to market Amrinone in the United Kingdom; the company withdrew separate applications in January 1984 and September 1985.
