FDA Adverse Side Effect 1-800 Number Label Requirement
There is a new FDA requirement that pharmacies notify consumers about how to report side-effects to FDA, including an 800 number to use. The following text is included in the rule: "This part is not intended to apply to authorized dispensers dispensing or administering prescription drug products to inpatients in a hospital or health care facility under an order of a licensed practitioner, or as part of supervised home health care."The rule does not include a definition of "health care facility" but a nursing home would qualify. Note that prescriptions dispensed to home health care clients are also excluded. Federal Register Notice
