Another day awaits. And who knows what lies ahead? Meetings? Deadlines? Unexpected tidbits of information? We can relate. So grab a cup of stimulation - or perhaps, a bottle of water, since it will be rather sticky today in the greater Pharmalot metropolitan region - and dive in. As always, here are some items to ease the process.

"Like many Americans, I believed that a big problem in our country was frivolous lawsuits," Quaid testified. "But now I know that the courts are often the only path to justice."More (Source: PharmaGossip) PharmaGossip blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1442828 Thu, 15 May 2008 09:50:00 +0100 1442828 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1440011&cid=t_159460_150_f&fid=35777&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FPharmalot%2F%7E3%2F289358496%2F A seemingly arcane legal concept is quickly gaining a great deal of attention - and for good reason. At issue is the notion that FDA approval supercedes state law claims challenging safety, efficacy, or labeling. Drugmakers and the FDA argue preemption exists by maintaining agency actions are the final word on safety and effectiveness. This fall, the Supreme Court will hear a case - which involves a Wyeth drug (here’s the back story) - and the ruling will determine whether patients can sue a drugmaker through state law when a product has already been approved by the FDA. To get in front of the issue, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform will explore the debate. The witness includes some marquee names - actor Dennis Quaid, who is suing Baxter; former FDA commish Davi...

The babies were in the hospital to receive intravenous antibiotics for a staph infection when they were accidentally injected with adult strength heparin, a blood thinner, which was 1000 times the dose they should have received. The overdose caused the children to have bruising and bleeding, but, fortunately, the mistake was recognized and the treatment was effective and they recovered with no apparent permanent effects. That wasn’t the outcome for three infants who died at Methodist hospital in Indianapolis last year who also received accidental overdoses of heparin (three ...

The lawsuit seeks more than $50,000 in damages and claims Baxter Healthcare was negligent in packaging different doses of the product in similar vials with blue backgrounds, and also claims Baxter should have recalled large-dose vials after overdoses killed three children at an Indianapolis hospital last year. Baxter, of course, is also at the center of a scandal over contaminated Heparin. And so tonight at 7 pm EST, Quaid talks to 60 Minutes about an episode he describes as life-and-death in hopes of drawing attention to the problem of medical errors. “After these three kids died in Indiana, the...

Serious reactions included difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, excessive sweating, and rapidly falling blood pressure that can lead to life-threatening shock. Four people have died after receiving heparin, although the relationship to the drug is unclear, according to the agency. About 350 adverse events associated with the Baxter product have been reported since the end of last year compared to less than 100 reports in 2007, the FDA says. Most of the events have taken place at hemodialysis centers, almost exclusively involving patients receiving a bo...

The product liability lawsuit seeks more than $50,000 in damages and claims Baxter Healthcare was negligent in packaging different doses of the product in similar vials with blue backgrounds. The lawsuit also says the company should have recalled the large-dosage vials after overdoses killed three children at an Indianapolis hospital last year. The lawsuit was first reported by CelebTV.com, which obtained the court documents. A call to Baxter Healthcare seeking comment wasn’t immediately returned, the AP writes. The Quaids’ two children and a third patient were at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Nov. 18 w...
