[16:22:22] US FDA ASKS ROCHE FOR MORE DATA ON 12 DEATHS OF CHILDREN WHO TOOK TAMIFLU IN JAPAN

11/17/05 5:20 PM

ZURICH, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Stock in Roche Holding AG
<ROG.VX> slipped by around 3 percent on Thursday after U.S.
regulators asked for more information about the deaths of
children in Japan who had been taking flu-drug Tamiflu.
Tamiflu is being stockpiled by governments around the world
as the best available defence against a possible flu pandemic
sparked by avian influenza, and investors have priced
expectations for increased sales of the drug into Roche's stock.
Roche participation certificates were down 2.6 percent at
187.10 Swiss francs, after touching a low at 185.90 francs.
Shares in Gilead Science Inc. <GILD.O>, the inventor of
Tamiflu which reached a royalty deal with Roche on Wednesday,
were down 6 percent at $52.52.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it was reviewing
the deaths and possible mental side effects of the drug after 12
children died who took the drug.
The FDA said in a report the cause of the deaths was
extremely difficult to interpret but that it was concerned about
psychiatric events including hallucinations in children who had
taken Tamiflu.
Roche maintains there was no increase in deaths and
psychiatric events in patients on the drug compared with
patients with influenza in general.

-->'The fundamental issue is who owns the intellectual property rights over Tamiflu. The media reports suggest that the Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche will make billions.
While the drug is produced by Roche, it was developed by Gilead Sciences Inc.which owns the intellectual property rights. Gilead, which has maintained a low profile, has outsourced the production to Roche.
Donald Rumsfeld was appointed Chairman of Gilead Sciences, Inc. in 1997, a position which he held in the years prior to becoming Secretary of Defense.in the Bush adminstration. Rumsfeld had been on the Board of Directors from the establishment of Gilead in 1987.'

Dann kommt der aufgeblasene Mediaatack:

Und zu guter letzt der Preis:
In den USA kostet das Zeug $100 fuer 10 Pillen a 75mg

Das Zeug ist teuer als Koks! (Koks @ $100/gr)
Und die US Regierung legt Voraete im Wert von 2 Milliarden Dollar an?

-->....wen du runter scrollst, gibt es schon etliche Beiträge dazu!
Auch zu den Nebenwirkungen (müsste eigentlich Hauptwirkungen heissen!).
Ist uralt, siehe schon Arzneitelegramm http://www.arzneitelegramm.de

Gib dort 'Tamiflu'ein und du erhältst etliche Seiten dazu!
Wurde damals schon sehr kritisch bewertet!
