Executive Summary
The European Medicines Agency is conducting safety reviews of Eliquis, Pradaxa and Xarelto, and is looking at whether the marketing authorization for the anticancer medicine Lartruvo should be maintained. It has also asked manufacturers of angiotensin II receptor blockers to review their manufacturing processes to ensure they do not produce nitrosamine impurities.
