pharmacists as part of an "early warning system" to help identify problems with newly approved drugs
November 2000
Dear Pharmacist: You'll hear about a proposal to rely more on pharmacists as part of an "early warning system" to help identify problems with newly approved drugs.
In the last three years, several drugs had to be taken off the market...Prepulsid, Redux, Pondimin, Seldane, Roxiam, etc.
The HPB and FDA currently rely on voluntary reports to monitor new drugs for adverse reactions.
