The company also received approval to market Finasteride, used to treat prostrate glands, and Pravastatin, a cholesterol-reducing agent.

The Exeter-based drug company said that that brings to 51 the total of 51 European approvals received over the past 12 months, 21 of which were in Spain. – BOB SANDERS
