Zagam

In demonology Zagan is a Great King and President of Hell, commanding over thirty-three legions of demons. He makes men witty; he can also turn wine into water, water into wine, and blood into wine (according to Pseudomonarchia Daemonum blood into oil, oil into blood, and a fool into a wise man). Other of his powers is that of turning metals into coins that are made with that metal (i.e., gold into a gold coin, copper into a copper coin, etc.). more...

According to other demonologists this demon is the protector of those who commit fraud with false money, and can also change copper into gold and lead into silver.

Zagan is depicted as a griffin-winged bull that turns into a man after a while. Other authors portray him as a bull-headed man with the wings of a griffin.

Alternative spelling: Zagam.

Mylan discontinues Zagam - Brief Article
From Drug Store News, 3/5/01

Mylan Laboratories is discontinuing the fluoroquinolone antibiotic Zagam (sparfloxacin), which is manufactured by Aventis. Mylan licensed Zagam from Rhone-Poulenc Rorer in 1998 prior to the latter company's merger with Hoechst to form Aventis. Zagam was approved in 1996.

Zagam is the fourth quinolone to be discontinued. Abbott's Omniflox and Glaxo's Raxar were withdrawn because of safety reasons; Pfizer's Trovan is available only under limited distribution. Safety issues concerning Zagam included some reports of QT prolongation and a 7.9 percent incidence of phototoxicity.
