These include high drug prices, demand in excess of supply and, critically, a lack of appropriately enforced legislation. The rise in illegal online retail of pharmaceuticals has greatly augmented the threat of falsified medicines from outside of the legal supply chain,3 though they may also reach patients via the legal supply chain.4 \u0000 \u0000When properly formulated and enforced, government legislation helps keep people safe in the realest terms. Consider Scotland’s recent lowering of the drink-driving limit, which resulted in an early 30% drop in the number of drivers found over the limit.5 \u0000 \u0000Mandatory fitting and use of seatbelts in cars have saved untold thousands of lives across Europe and electrical safety laws have reduced accidents and injuries in homes and workplaces. When you consider that, in 2009, France’s inability to efficiently recall the diabetes drug, Mediator (Benfluorex; Servier Laboratories, Surenes, France) resulted in as many as 2,000 deaths,6 the same principles must apply to the pharmaceutical industry.","PeriodicalId":91117,"journal":{"name":"Journal of generic medicines","volume":"11 3-4","pages":"169-172"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1741134315588986","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34128465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
