Thumbs down Patients lose out again to Pharma.....
Quote:
Washington (CNN) -- Two women who say they suffered severe medical complications from a generic drug lost their Supreme Court appeal Thursday, essentially ending their separate lawsuits against pharmaceutical manufacturers.

The justices in a 5-4 ruling said generic drug companies do not share the same level of responsibility as makers of brand-name equivalents, to update their warning labels when significant new risks emerge......

If this link ends, the drug in question is Reglan (metoclopramide), a drug well known to cause Tardive in some patients.

This type of thing gets complex.... I find on the FDA website,
Alaven Pharmaceuticals owns Reglan's trademark.

Alaven no longer exists, and was incorporated into Meda.

So when this suit was initially brought? Maybe Wyeth had it? But not today.
Quote:
Gladys Mensing of Minnesota and Julie Demahy of Louisiana both were prescribed metoclopramide -- marketed as Reglan by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals -- to treat their heartburn and acid reflux. Their pharmacists separately filled the prescription with a generic equivalent made by PLIVA, Inc. and Actavis, Inc.
Wyeth no longer exists either!

I suspect this decision was partisan based, and that is hinted at in the content of the news item, IMO.

Oh, my!

I found it anyway.... my super sniffer internet activity located it without a problem! LOL ( I read "new posts" not the forum index).

I didn't even notice, it ticked me off so much I went to search that patent!

Thanks for posting it Chemar.

That's just disgusting. I wonder if it's the same in Au..

I found a site that lists all the Trade names and Generic names of Reglan.

Trade Names:
Apo-Metoclop; Cerucal; Clopra; Clopra-Yellow; Clopromate; DEL; Duraclamid; Elieten; Emetid; Emitasol; Emperal; Eucil; Gastrese; Gastro-Timelets; Gastrobid; Gastromax; Gastronerton; Gastrosil; Gastrotablinen; Gastrotem; Imperan; Maxeran; Maxolon; Meclopran; Metamide; Metoclol; Metoclopramide Intensol; Metoclopramide Omega; Metocobil; Metramid; Moriperan; Mygdalon; Neu-Sensamide; Nu-Metoclopramide; Octamide; Parmid; Paspertin; Peraprin; Plasil; Pms-Metoclopramide; Pramidin; Pramiel; Pramin; Primperan; Reclomide; Reglan; Reliveran; Terperan

In the article Chemar posted it says...
Quote:

If that's the case then is it only the first list that's made by generic drug companies?

Gosh, lots of different names. Every one of them has the same potential side-effects. Scary

Unhappy
In the "old days" all liability suits went to the parent company holding the patent. This must have changed here in the US.
