Pharmaceutical preparations-a challenge!
Deutsche Apotheker Zeitung 1977 Jan 13; 117:47-54
Abstract:
Health authorities are asked to provide more flexible guiding principles for judging the effectiveness and risk of drugs. The same authorities should ensure the prompt examination of furnished data and provide effective control of drugs already on the market. Physicians need to improve their knowledge of pharmacology, to attend continuous postgraduate education programs, to restrain their prescribing, and to actively cooperate in reporting side effects.
