Generic Drug Lawsuits: Bernstein Liebhard LLP Comments on Possible FDA Rule Change that Could Eliminate Pre-emption

Posted: Published on February 17th, 2013

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 16, 2013 The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) is considering a rule change that could pave the the way for individuals allegedly injured by generic versions of popular medications, including Fosamax, to pursue generic drugs lawsuits against their manufacturers, Bernstein Liebhard LLP reports. The agency recently confirmed to Reuters that it is considering a regulatory change that would allow generic manufacturers, like brand-name manufacturers, to change their labeling in appropriate circumstances. The proposed change could eliminate pre-emption of failure-to-warn claims against generic-drug manufacturers.* Generic drugs pose the same risks as their name-brand counterparts. Yet, under the current state of the law, individuals allegedly injured by generic medications are denied legal recourse, says Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing the victims of defective drugs and medical devices. Generic Drug Lawsuits Under existing FDA regulations, generic drugs are required to carry the same label warnings as their name-brand counterparts. However, generic drug manufacturers are currently barred from altering their labels on their own. In 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Pliva vs. Mensing that generic manufacturers could not be sued for failing to warn patients about their drugs risks, since they have no … Continue reading →

Editorial: A misguided plan to test welfare recipients for drugs

Posted: Published on February 17th, 2013

Originally published February 15, 2013 at 4:32 PM | Page modified February 15, 2013 at 4:32 PM DURING the great welfare-reform debate of 1996, Republican leadership in Congress sought mandatory drug testing for recipients as a controversial but core plank of their plan to give each state flexibility to design its own path from welfare to work. They lost that battle, but won their larger goal ending welfare as an entitlement when President Clinton signed the landmark legislation. Since then, the welfare rolls in Washington plunged 45 percent from an average monthly caseload of 99,376 in 1996 to 54,427 in 2012. Those families used the get-to-work resources of Temporary Assistance to Needy Families education, job-hunting aid, child care, chemical-dependency treatment as a springboard, we hope, to a better life. While some bad ideas of the 1990s have mercifully died think high-waisted, acid-washed jeans a handful of Republicans in Olympia are trying to revive former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bob Doles misguided idea. The notion that the parents poor enough to need welfare must be sitting around doing drugs all day is offensive. Currently, welfare recipients undergo a comprehensive assessment to determine the biggest obstacles to steady work. If it is … Continue reading →

County handing over addiction programs

Posted: Published on February 17th, 2013

Butte-Silver Bow will no longer run its own chemical dependency programs after a recent budget analysis showed more than $1 million in losses since 2005. The county instead plans to transition those programs including drug and alcohol treatment, tobacco prevention and assessment classes to other providers in thecommunity. Chief Executive Matt Vincent announced the decision Friday, saying local government is in the wrong business administering chemical dependency services out of the health department. Vincent hopes to make the transition by the next fiscal year, which begins officially in July, and until then he assured there will be no break in programs or changes in staffing. None of these patients will be abandoned, and the personnel will remain the same through this transition period, Vincent said. County officials will work with the state Department of Public Health and Human Services Chemical Dependency Bureau on preparing a request for information to identify which providers are best suited for the job. Vincent cannot guarantee the new provider will retain any of the programs seven employees, but said the countys control in the selection process does provide some leverage. From this point forward, well be relying on the employees to work through this transition … Continue reading →

Sims 2 MEP – "Her Name is Alice" [PART 2] – Video

Posted: Published on February 17th, 2013

Sims 2 MEP - "Her Name is Alice" [PART 2] Part 2 of Luana6972's MEP! Sorry if my part is confusing. I used too many effects maybe lol. It's supposed to show a teenage girl going to a club filled with "creatures who lend themselves to change your state of mind" (with drugs, alcohol, etc.) and so it becomes sort of a wonderland for the girl as she becomes more and more addicted (falling down the rabbit hole) into madness and pure addiction. Hope that makes sense. By: NatalieFirexx … Continue reading →

One Alcoholic to Another 058 Feb. 16 – Video

Posted: Published on February 17th, 2013

One Alcoholic to Another 058 Feb. 16 Thought for the Day One drink started a train of thought that became an obsession, and from then on, we couldn't stop drinking. We developed a mental compulsion to keep drinking until we got good and drunk. People generally make two mistakes about alcoholism. One mistake is that it can be cured by physical treatment only. The other mistake is that it can be cured by willpower only. Most alcoholics have tried both of these ways and have found that they don't work. But we members of AA have found a way to arrest alcoholism. Have I got over my obsession by following the AA program? Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path. Those who do not recover are people who cannot or will not completely give themselves to this simple program, usually men and women who are constitutionally incapable of being honest with themselves. There are such unfortunates. They are not at fault; they seem to have been born that way. They are naturally incapable of grasping and developing a manner of living which demands rigorous honesty. Their chances are less than average. There … Continue reading →

Chazot a horse Speaks Hi I'm Chazot. For this part, I am taking over the text. Jean Luc told me that some peoples were confused by his accent so I offered to be the voice. As you know, I can read his mind. However, since he is my teacher, I may have the same voice and the same accent. Just give me a second; I have a itch . In this second installment on the longitudinal flexion of the equine thoracolumbar spine, we have to address the issue of the lowering of the neck, since, in spite of knew knowledge, the lowering of our neck remains associated to two major misconceptions. One is that longitudinal flexion of out thoracolumbar column is a geometrical shape that can be created lowering our neck. The second is that longitudinal flexion of our thoracolumbar spine is an elongation that can be enhanced stretching our neck. Considering the human nature, Tom Gilovitch explains why the theory will not go away very soon. If one wants to believe that the lowering of the neck is a stretching, one will look only for evidences that the theory might be true. "If we find a single piece … Continue reading →
