Tasly Group Halts Trading After Adverse Report On Its Cardiotonic Pill

An academic fingered for falsifying his research paper has turned the table on the accuser after Zhejiang University found the real author to be a protégé. Li Lianda, the implicated academic, claimed the allegation was made by an advisor of Tasly Group after Li announced his research on the severe side effects caused by the firm's Cardiotonic Pill. The company asked him not to publish the results but he went ahead, thus he suspected the false paper "exposé" was linked to the incident.

It emphasized that the drug has received China State FDA approval after thousands of clinical trials. (Click here for more - Chinese Language)
