Actor Tony Todd, known for his haunting portrayal of a killer in the horror film Candyman and roles in many other films and television shows, has died, his longtime manager confirmed. He was 69.
PETALING JAYA: Generic drugs prescribed for heart patients covered by the government are as safe and effective as branded drugs, says National Heart Institute Sdn Bhd chairman Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.
On Nov 8, the Pharmaceutical Association of Malaysia said its statement on generic drugs was taken out of context by a health news portal which erroneously implied that it could compromise safety in the treatment of patients. Malaysian Association for Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery honorary secretary Dr John Chan Kok Meng said there is generally no concern with the use of generic drugs produced by well-established companies.
However, he said there are clinical situations when it is difficult to measure the effectiveness of drugs, for example, blood thinners to treat coronary disease or prevent blood clots in patients with irregular heartbeats.
