BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Drug-maker ISTA (IS'-tah) Pharmaceuticals has pleaded guilty in New York in a federal case involving its eye drug Xibrom (ZY'-brum) and has agreed to pay more than $30 million. The Department of Justice says the case was settled in U.S. District Court in Buffalo today. California-based ISTA was acquired by Rochester-based Bausch & Lomb last year. It admits promoting Xibrom for uses beyond what the Food and Drug Administration approved.
