SmithKline says FDA approved diabetes drug Avandia
Tuesday May 25, 7:31 pm Eastern Time

PHILADELPHIA, May 25 (Reuters) - SmithKline Beecham
Plc(quote from Yahoo! UK & Ireland: SB.L) (NYSE:SBH - news)
has been granted U.S. regulatory approval to sell its Avandia
drug for adult-onset type II diabetes, as a stand-alone therapy
and in combination with another drug, metformin, the company
said on Tuesday.

Avandia, which will be co-marketed by British-based SmithKline Beecham and U.S.-based Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (NYSE:BMY - news), won a recommended rating from a Food and Drug Administration advisory panel last month. It is among the first three members of the new glitazone class of diabetes drugs, which include Rezulin, sold by New Jersey-based Warner-Lambert Co. (NYSE:WLA - news), and Actos, under development by Japan's Takeda Chemical Industries Ltd. .
