After deliberating for more than a day, a federal jury in Arkansas has found for Wyeth Pharmaceuticals in the latest lawsuit claiming that the company's hormone replacement drugs cause breast cancer. Lawyers for Wyeth had said the plaintiff likely would have developed breast cancer regardless of whether she took Premarin and Prempro because of genetic and health factors, such as weight gain and a history of smoking. Since last fall, Wyeth has won two Prempro cases and lost one; another ended in a mistrial.
