American scientists, having analyzed data from almost 8 million patients, have compiled a list of 17 drugs that significantly increase the risk of acute liver damage. It is important that most of them were not listed as hepatotoxic.

If you are taking metronidazole, fluoroquinolone antibiotics or other drugs, you should be more careful. New data has shown their connection with an increased risk of hospitalization due to liver damage, pronedra.ru reports.

Earlier it was written that the head of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency Veronika Skvortsova reported the successful completion of preclinical studies of a domestic vaccine against cancer. The drug has proven high efficiency and safety and is ready for the next stage. In addition, a large international study has shown that the standard practice of prescribing beta-blockers after a heart attack may be ineffective. Scientists have found that these drugs do not improve treatment outcomes for many patients.
