A pharmacist has three basic duties: to store prescription drugs properly, to prepare prescription drugs properly, and to dispense prescription drugs correctly. If the dispensing pharmacist fails to perform any of these duties, he/she could be held liable if a patient experiences a drug-related injury. This article discusses pharmacists’ liability for the improper dispensing of prescription drugs.
A product recall occurs when the manufacturer or a regulatory agency removes a product from the market or asks the public to return the product for corrective measures. Most product recalls relate to safety issues. A voluntary recall occurs when the manufacturer asks consumers to return the product or bring it in for repairs. A mandatory recall is a recall ordered by a regulatory agency pursuant to a law or regulation.
In 1996, Dolly the sheep became the first large animal cloned from a bioengineered embryo that had been implanted in a ewe’s womb. It took 277 attempts before a viable lamb was born. Other animals have been cloned to date, but successful cloning has not occurred often and various abnormalities have been seen. In 1999, it was reported that DNA had been found in Dolly’s cells, which was typical of an older animal.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began monitoring adverse drug reactions in 1961 after it was discovered that thalidomide (a drug used for nausea in pregnancy) caused severe birth defects. An adverse drug event (ADE) is an undesirable side effect experienced by a patient after taking a drug or using a medical device. Serious adverse events must be reported to the FDA, including birth defects, miscarriage, and stillbirths.
Silicone breast implants were developed in the 1960s. They have been used for breast reconstruction (about 15 percent of implant procedures, as estimated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) and breast enhancement (about 85 percent of implant procedures, as estimated by the FDA).
