WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Regulators said on Friday they were reviewing
the safety of Allergan Inc's (AGN.N: Quote, Profile, Research) Botox
and a competing product after reports of deaths and serious reactions
in some patients.
The Food and Drug Administration said the most serious cases included
hospitalizations and deaths and occurred mostly in children treated
for cerebral palsy-associated limb spasticity, a use not approved in
the United States.
The FDA said its review applied to Allergan's Botox and Botox
Cosmetic, and Solstice Neurosciences Inc's Myobloc.
Allergan shares fell $2.10 after the FDA announcement, or about 3
percent, to $65.30 on the New York Stock Exchange.
