QT Prolongation
editThe statement about QT prolongation in the second paragraph is worded too strongly. Further, the citation given does not support the statement, as it is an evaluation of the effect of an FDA warning regarding the possibility of QT Prolongation on prescription habits.
I suggest changing the wording to "Azithromycin may increase the risk of QT prolongation, especially in elderly patients, which can lead to life-threatening arrhythmias such as torsades de pointes." with the following citation https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6204160/
Who removed that Pliva is from Croatia?
editWhy do you keep removing that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by It is I, Marija, a humble thief (talk • contribs) 16:49, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
This is the history section of Viagra. It lists the location of where it was invented and gives the actual name of the researcher, so why can't we have the same thing? The editing on Wikipedia is not consistent and that's what pisses me off about this - if every history section removed the country I'd be ok with it, but no, all the Western country ones have stayed behind.
History
Sildenafil (compound UK-92,480) was synthesized by a group of pharmaceutical chemists working at Pfizer's Sandwich, Kent, research facility in England. It was initially studied for use in hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina pectoris (a symptom of ischaemic heart disease). The first clinical trials were conducted in Morriston Hospital in Swansea.[46] Phase I clinical trials under the direction of Ian Osterloh suggested the drug had little effect on angina, but it could induce marked penile erections.[47][48] — Preceding unsigned comment added by It is I, Marija, a humble thief (talk • contribs) 17:21, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
EDIT AGAIN
I'm re-adding the history of it, because the history of Viagra is still there, so either remove both histories or keep ours. — Preceding unsigned comment added by It is I, Marija, a humble thief (talk • contribs) 21:21, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
EDIT AGAIN JUNE 25TH, 2020
I'm re-adding the history with a reference. Someone removed it again for "not having a reference". I think I made a mistake in the reference though because it's missing a "title" and I'm not sure how to add that. The reference does provide a link to a website, so if someone wants to add a "title", please do so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by It is I, Marija, a humble thief (talk • contribs) 22:51, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
In keeping with Wikipedia's naming standards, in 1980, Pliva was a Yugoslavian state-operated pharmaceutical company. Historiaantiqua (talk) 05:30, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
