EU OKs "breakthrough" new anesthesia drug
By Ransdell Pierson
NEW YORK (Reuters) - European regulators have approved a breakthrough new medicine to help patients emerge far more quickly from anesthesia than existing treatments,
Schering-Plough Corp , the maker of the medicine, said on Tuesday.
The U.S. drugmaker has said the injectable drug, called Bridion, is one of the biggest advances in anesthesiology in the past generation.
The medicine was approved by the European Commission, following a recommendation last month by an advisory panel in support of the drug, also known as sugammadex.
