The founder of Servier, the French drugmaker, will appear in court next month to face charges concerning the firm's actions concerning Mediator, the withdrawn diabetes treatment which has been linked to the deaths of up to 2,000 people.The Le Figaro newspaper has reported that 88-year-old Jacques Servier is due in court on February 11, to face accusations in a lawsuit brought by alleged victims and their relatives that the company did not behave in a transparent way and made misleading claims about Mediator (benfluorex). The drug was withdrawn in France in November 2009 after reports that it had caused 500 deaths in the 30-odd years it had been on the market.
