BMS was, however, hit by a 29% fall in sales of Avapro/Avalide, used to treat hypertension.
CEO Lamberto Andreotti hailed the results and also praised data from the company’s trial of the stroke prevention medication Eliquis.
"We are excited by the strength of the Phase III data presented on Eliquis for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation and by the possibility that Eliquis could play a key role in the company’s future," he said.
