Reporting drug defects.
A 7-year-old program that enlists the cooperation of pharmacists in reporting any problems they encounter with drugs has helped FDA spot and correct trouble that might go undetected and has enabled the Agency to keep a closer watch over the general state of the drug supply. Now consumers are being asked to join in the drug problem reporting effort, either by giving the information to their pharmacists or providing it directly to FDA.
