Meth surging in Northeast Ohio, law enforcement blames Mexican cartels

https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-news/cleveland-metro/meth-surging-in-northeast-ohio-law-enforcement-blames-mexican-cartels

CLEVELAND — Methamphetamine is back with a vengeance in some communities. Although, it never completely disappeared from the streets of Northeast Ohio, it is back in record numbers.

“Those are border type seizures being seized in Northeast Ohio,” said Keith Martin, Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the Cleveland DEA.

Last year, what is believed to be the largest meth bust in the state’s history happened in Boston Heights. The Drug Enforcement Agency confiscated 142 pounds of the drug. Now, within just the last few months, two more seizures found a combined 150 pounds of meth were confiscated by DEA Agents.

There is an increase in the drug and a decrease in meth labs, Martin said.

Martin said Mexican cartels are to blame for the surge of the potent drug.

“When we are seizing those qualities, it impacts the cartel and their ability to operate when they are losing that much product,” said Martin.

In 2014, statistics put Ohio in the top ten states for meth labs.

“Summit county was basically the top in the state of Ohio,” said Inspector Bill Holland with the Summit County Sheriff’s Department.

“We’re seeing a resurgence of this drug, but we’re not seeing the labs,” he said.

According to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, in 2016,the bureau was part of cleaning up 286 meth labs, last year, just 28.

FREEDOM: Reflection By An Incarcerated Innocent

Posted on August 13, 2019 by Pharmaciststeve

FREEDOM: Reflection By An Incarcerated Innocent

www.doctorsofcourage.org/freedom-reflection-by-an-incarcerated-innocent/

The day is picturesque for July… White fluffy clouds in the sky, the sun shining bright and beautiful, the warmth can be felt through the tiny window to his room. His room, a man sits alone in a cell reflecting on his 20+ year career of giving his time and talents to the betterment of humanity, its health and well- being. He’s been at the beside when a newborn baby has been brought into this world, taken its first breath, and shared in the joy and celebration of the family as they fulfilled the Great Command to “Go forth and multiply…”; but also held the hand of the dying as they passed from this life into the next, taken their final breath, and shared in the sorrow and grief of the family as they lament the fact that “Life is but a vapor….”. He sits in a cell reflecting on those moments and every memorable life-changing moment in between. A man who has been prolific enough in his own career, yet lucky enough to have impacted the careers of many of his peers through an extensive resume of teaching, research, and consulting. He is sitting in a cell in K Block after being accused, yes accused and not convicted of what is a political argument. Not for breaking a law or a scientific fact, but a political judgement of his medical opinion.

No, this story in not taking place in Russia or China, but it is unfolding right here, right now on the 4th of July in the United States of America. Independence Day, the day we celebrate “FREEDOM” and everything that supposedly separates us from the afore-mentioned countries and every other country on this planet we, as the human race, calls home.

The guy in the cell is me, Jeffrey W. Young, Jr MSN FNP APN-BC, and I’m not alone…. not truly alone.   I am surrounded by many, many other men (detainees) on the BLOCK in a Federal holding facility in the State of Tennessee.

FREEDOM: a concept we think or at least I thought I had or understood, until it was taken away. Now in the fourth decade of my life, sadly, I have come to realize that we do not live in a FREE country and that you are truly GUILTY until proven innocent. This contradicts everything I believed in and was ever taught.

The average American citizen today is busy with picnic plans, family activities, beer, hotdogs, and apple pie; and are completely unaware of the blatant abuse of power currently going on by certain branches of government. Recently the American people have been horrified and outraged by the images of “immigrant detainees” and their plight unfolding on TV right in front of them. Here is a rude awakening, they are “federal detainees” as are myself and all of my new “friends”.

“POWER CORRUPTS…ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY” — Charles Colton

We as Americans have been so afraid of losing our FREEDOM to a foreign power that we have silently consented to our FREEDOM being taken away, as Premier Khrushchev predicted at the United Nations in the 1960’s, by powers from within “without firing a shot”. You might say… “This couldn’t happen to me, and you are just being dramatic”. Yes, I too used to be an idealistic American. In fact, I raised money for, promoted, befriended, and voted for the very Congressman that became a Federal judge that subsequently signed the warrant for the Gestapo style raid on my office and home. RAID, yes a raid, with machine guns drawn and battering rams in hand. Came into my office with machine guns at the ready, putting patients and their families on the floor, children on the floor with machine guns to their heads, raiders screaming “GET DOWN and STAY DOWN!!!!”. Again, this is not a scene from a World War II movie, there wasn’t SS or Swastika arm bands on the soldiers; this took place in a rural God fearing town in West Tennessee in the United States of America, and not in the 1940’s, but 2017.

For the last 2 plus years, I have been reinventing myself and my practice trying hard not to abandon my passion and calling, attempting to meet the needs of my patients; yet conscious of the climate change and the systematic removal of what has been instilled into us over centuries of medicine, but especially in the last 19 years, known as the Patient’s Bill of Rights and the Right of every patient to be pain free. We were taught that pain was the fifth vital sign and instructed to take it as seriously as we took heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, and respiratory rate (oxygen status). However, we were never given an objective tool to quantify this subjective measure. We were told, “pain is what the patient says it is” and given the 1-10 pain scale and “the faces board” ranging from happy to sad. And with these tools in hand asked to treat patients and penalized and threatened with lawsuits if we did not comply. Fast forward nearly two decades later and now Health Care professionals are being prosecuted and being jailed and imprisoned for doing exactly what we were trained to do.

I have not written a single opioid pain pill over a two and a half year period of time, yet on April 17th, 2019; after spending the evening with my son for his 15th birthday, I was arrested in my home in front of my son with agents jokingly asking me “how was the concert last night”. Apparently we had been followed. Yes, in the United States of America.

Since that day I have unfortunately learned about the “unrule of law”. How that the law is NOT a line engraved in marble, immoveable and unchangeable; but rather, the law is like the string of an electric guitar, it is fixed at both ends and can be bent and manipulated to play a certain tune. A tune the powers that be would like for you to hear.   The lawyers being the modern day “axe men” or virtuosos. The lawyer that plays the best tune wins.   The Federal government and its unlimited resources enjoy a certain “style of music” and if you don’t play their “tune” you lose. Song as old as time.

So here I am, on this Independence (FREEDOM) Day, yet another holiday “locked-up on the Block” away from my son and other family and friends; awaiting my chance to prove my innocence of something that isn’t even a crime, but the government’s misinterpretation of the Controlled Substance Act (CSA) to further a political agenda. Unable, by nature of being incarcerated, of mounting a defense I would be able to coordinate if I were on the “outside”.   This “stacking of the deck” in the government’s favor assures them to maintain their 98% conviction rate (actually a plea deal rate…. all men long to be FREE).   2% of the population have to fortitude to play the game out.   Yes, we are still talking about The United States.

“The bar for criminality is high, a

Convicted Nurse Practitioner

nd for criminality to exist there must be knowledge of, and willful intent to commit a crime.”

–Robert Mueller (The Mueller Report)

I pray for the fortitude and strength to see this through to its JUST conclusion….

God Bless America,

Jeffrey W. Young, Jr., MSN FNP APN-BC.

Sanjay Kumar, MD Convicted

Posted on August 13, 2019 by Pharmaciststeve

New post on Doctors of Courage
Sanjay Kumar, MD Convicted
by Linda Cheek, MD

Kumar, MD, 53, a PM&R and Sports Medicine physician in New Bern, NC, was convicted this week of five counts of unlawful distribution of oxycodone outside the scope of professional practice and not for a legitimate medical purpose, five counts of money laundering by concealment, and three counts of attempt to evade and defeat tax.
This trial is an example of insanity: repeating the same action over and over, expecting a different result. Doctors across the country should take notice, but they don’t. So any one of you could be the next neck on the chopping block.
Let’s evaluate this case as to what insured the doctor’s next residence as a prison cell.
First, the doctor thought he would be safe from government attack if he didn’t take insurance. But now you are damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. In this case, he was attacked for running a “cash only” practice. The government now has propagandized that as criminal, with comments like “He was in it for the money” and the jury eats it up.
Second, he was criminalized for conducting little or no medical examination. But any doctor in practice knows that pain is subjective. It does not change the diagnosis or treatment to take someone’s blood pressure or listen to their lungs in a PM&R clinic monthly. You get a verbal VAS scale (1-10) level of pain, and quality of life, and you are good to go.
Now here is the interesting part in this case. His trial hung on legitimate prescriptions for legitimate patients. But back in 2016, the DOJ smeared the doctor in the media for “trafficking in opium” and “stalking”. Today, whatever works to denigrate a doctor’s reputation and name is fair game to the rogue government agency. Is “opium” the next key word like “pill mill” to propagandize legitimate doctors?
Nowhere in any federal indictment was the substance “opium” identified as an actual product for evidence. No, hydromorphone, oxycodone, and alprazolam were instead the drugs identified. So this is basically slander and libel working against the doctor through DOJ/media collaboration.
Dr. Kumar’s home was searched by the local Craven County Sheriff’s Office, which, by the way, gets part of the forfeiture of the doctor’s assets. That’s an incentive to make sure that the doctor has no chance in court. Supposedly in the search, “trafficking levels of controlled substances” were found. These were identified as opioid pills “commonly sold illegally” as the media stated. So what that means is that if a doctor or family member has a prescription bottle of opioids in their home, they are automatically “trafficking” for the purposes of media propaganda. And that’s all it takes to be a trafficker—your own prescribed pills. Richard Paey was even sentenced to 25 years for having the empty pill bottles in his home from past years of legitimate prescriptions.
It is also very common for doctors to be charged with “Possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.” This happens when any firearm is found in the home or office of the victim, regardless of the use of the firearm—from skeet shooting to defense. The courts use this to increase the sentence of the defendant, and to take away many freedoms while incarcerated, as he is therefore listed as a “violent offender”. It would appear that this charge didn’t hold water for the jury, however. I guess the media didn’t propagandize that enough.
31 indictments were levied against Dr. Kumar:
• Conspiracy to unlawfully dispense and distribute Oxycodone, Oxymorphone, Hydromorphone and Alprazolam.
• Distribution of Oxycodone and Alprazolam.
• Possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.”
• Engaging in monetary transactions in property derived from specified unlawful activity.
• Laundering of monetary instruments.
He was convicted of 13 of the charges.
Now what should Dr. Kumar have done?
First, he should have gone to www.doctorsofcourage.org and see how repeating the usual defense that white collar lawyers do would get him convicted.
Second, he should have consulted us for how to de-propagandize the jury with the truth.
Third, he, his family, and his friends should have joined DoctorsofCourage, as getting the truth to the public is the only way to stop the rogue DOJ and government.
Fourth, now that the damage has been done and he is on the way to prison, again, his family, friends, patients, and all parties with a dog in the fight for legitimate pain treatment should get on board the Cor-“wreck”ting train on DoctorsofCourage.
Join the Fight

The March Toward a Pre-Modern Approach to the Treatment of Pain Continues, Undeterred by Science

Posted on August 12, 2019 by Pharmaciststeve

The March Toward a Pre-Modern Approach to the Treatment of Pain Continues, Undeterred by Science

https://www.cato.org/blog/march-toward-pre-modern-approach-treatment-pain-continues-undeterred-science

It seems that no amount of data-driven information can get policymakers to reconsider the hysteria-driven pain prescription policies they continue to put in place.

I can understand lay politicians and members of the press misconstruing addiction and dependency, but there is no excuse when doctors make that error. Yet National Public Radio reports that surgeons in 18 Upstate New York hospitals have agreed on an initiative to limit the amount of pain medicine they will prescribe to postoperative patients discharged from the hospital. The reporter says that researchers “now know” that patients prescribed opioids for postoperative pain “can become addicted” and that “the new prescription guidelines can prevent this particular gateway to abuse.” 

But what does the research show? One recent study published in the BMJ of more than 568,000 “opioid naïve” postsurgical patients followed for 8 years found a total “misuse” rate of 0.6 percent. (“Misuse” includes a range of non-prescribed drug use, from self-medicating with leftover pills to treat an ankle sprain on one extreme to addiction on the other.) Broken down further, the researchers found the misuse rate was 0.15 percent in patients given just one prescription postoperatively and was 0.29 percent in patients who got a second prescription as a refill. 

Multiple highly-respected Cochrane systematic analyses, the most rigorous reviews in the medical science literature, found the addiction rate in chronic noncancer pain patients on long-term opioid therapy to be around 1 percent.

Addiction and dependency/tolerance are two separate entities, but policymakers and many in the media equate the two. But the doctors in Upstate New York should know better. Physical dependence refers to the physiological adaptation to the drug such that abrupt cessation or tapering off too rapidly can precipitate a withdrawal syndrome, which in some cases can be life-threatening. Tolerance is an aspect of physiological adaptation, in which increasing dose of a medication become necessary to achieve the desired effect. Once a patient is properly tapered off of the drug on which they have become physically dependent, they do not feel a craving or compulsion to return to the drug. Dependence and tolerance are seen with numerous types of drugs, from anti-depressants and anti-epileptics to beta-blockers (used to treat hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions).

Addiction, on the other hand, is defined by the American Society of Addiction Medicine as a “chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry…characterized by the inability to consistently abstain, impairment in behavioral control, craving” that continues despite resulting destruction of relationships, economic conditions, and health. Addiction has a biopsychosocial basis with a genetic predisposition and involves neurotransmitters and interactions within reward centers of the brain. Some experts believe addiction is a learning disorder in which behavioral patterns are automatized as mechanisms for coping with stress or trauma. A major feature of addiction is compulsiveness. This compulsiveness is why alcoholics or other drug addicts will return to their substance of abuse even after they have been “detoxed” and despite the fact that they know it will further damage their lives. 

Writing in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2016, Drs. Nora Volkow and Thomas McLellan of the National Institute on Drug Abuse explained, “Unlike tolerance and physical dependence, addiction is not a predictable result of opioid prescribing. Addiction occurs in only a small percentage of persons who are exposed to opioids — even among those with preexisting vulnerabilities.”

In 2016 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published guidelines regarding opioid prescribing for pain. Many scholars and clinicians specializing in pain management and addiction treatment criticized the guide as lacking a basis in evidence. Despite the fact that the CDC stated its guidelines were meant to be “voluntary rather than prescriptive standards, “ and that much of the guidelines were based on “Type 4 evidence” (defined as “based upon clinical experience and observations, observational studies with important limitations, or randomized clinical trials with several major limitations”), policymakers on the federal and state level have been quick to adopt many of these guidelines as statutory limitations on opioid prescribing. The guidelines recognized that “clinical decision making should be based on a relationship between the clinician and patient, and an understanding of the patient’s clinical situation, functioning, and life context.” But one-size-fits all limitations on prescription dosages and amounts implemented by policymakers are incompatible with that statement.

An outcry from chronic pain patients experiencing the rapid tapering or termination of their chronic opioid treatment that followed in the wake of statutory enactments of the CDC guidelines led former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb to order a meeting on “Patient-Focused Drug Development for Chronic Pain” on July 9, 2018, stating in the meeting announcement: “In short, having sound, evidence-based information to inform prescribing can help ensure that patients aren’t over prescribed these drugs; while at the same time also making sure that patients with appropriated needs for short and, in some cases, longer-term use of these medicines are not denied access to necessary treatments. We will take the first steps toward developing this framework in the coming months, with the goal of providing standards that could inform the development of evidence based guidelines (emphasis added).” Thus, the Commissioner implied his sympathy with criticisms raised by academic and clinical physicians and their patients regarding the misinterpretation and misapplication of guidelines that lacked a solid basis on the evidence.

Complaints by academicians, clinicians, and the American Medical Association(Resolution 235) finally caused the CDC to issue a clarification in April 2019, noting, “Some policies, practices attributed to the Guideline are inconsistent with its recommendations.” Among the misapplications of the guidelines it noted were those that result in “hard limits or ‘cutting off’ opioids,” stating the “Guideline does not support abrupt tapering or sudden discontinuation of opioids.” 

Yet the statutory and regulatory restrictions remain unchanged. To date 18 states have laws limiting the amount of opioids that can be prescribed for acute and chronic pain. Many have limits on the morphine milligram equivalent daily dose (MEDD) that may be prescribed, despite evidence in the peer-review science literature that MEDD is an inaccurate and inappropriate metric. And it appears that even many actively practicing physicians, such as the surgeons in the 18 upstate New York hospitals, ignore the science as well as pleas from patients. 

So the march continues, undeterred by the facts, toward a pre-modern approach to the understanding and treatment of pain, and a pre-modern understanding of the risks and benefits of opioids, and the subtleties that differentiate dependency from addiction.

Join the Fight to help pain pts

Chronic pain is the number-one cause of long term disability in the United States and affects over 100 million Americans, more than diabetes, heart disease, and cancer combined. 

Restricting, punishing, and prohibiting the prescribing of opioids in response to the opioid epidemic has worsened the under treatment of pain and caused morbidity and mortality in pain patients.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies (corporate and local), pharmacists, insurance companies, physicians, and patients all share fault in the current opioid epidemic and must cooperate in the ethical, humane and appropriate treatment of the diseases of addiction and pain.

Despite the Center for Disease Control advising against the misapplication of their guidelines for the prescribing of opioids for chronic pain, pharmacies and insurance companies are refusing valid opioid prescriptions for pain from licensed and certified prescribers without just cause or due process.

The proposed solution is a certification process linking all responsible parties in the treatment of pain and addiction along with regulations to end the baseless restrictions on prescriptions for chronic pain management.

Utah woman died after pharmacy gave her wrong medication, lawsuit states

Utah woman died after pharmacy gave her wrong medication, lawsuit states

https://www.14news.com/2019/08/12/utah-woman-died-after-pharmacy-gave-her-wrong-medication-lawsuit-states/

AMERICAN FORK, Utah (KSTU/CNN) – The family of a Utah woman has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against a local pharmacy and her assisted living facility, alleging they gave her the wrong medication that led to her painful death in July 2018.

Just a few weeks after 75-year-old Gloria Dunn chose to live at the Bel Aire Assisted Living Facility in Utah County, Utah, her health began to deteriorate at an alarming rate. Previously, she had only had trouble with her kidneys, her family says.

“The doctor looked at Mom and said, ‘Gloria, you need to go to the emergency room right now. You look like death,’” said Joshua Dunn, one of Gloria Dunn’s six children.

When Gloria Dunn arrived at the emergency room, doctors asked her son if she had cancer. It turned out the cancer-free 75-year-old had been getting large doses of methotrexate, a dangerous chemotherapy drug.

“The problems she was having were all related to that medication,” Joshua Dunn said.

According to a lawsuit filed Wednesday, Gloria Dunn had been prescribed metolazone, a common diuretic, but Select Pharmacy in Midvale, Utah, allegedly sent back the wrong drug. The staff at the assisted living facility then administered that drug to the 75-year-old.

It took more than a week for doctors to check her medications and realize the mistake, the lawsuit states.

“She hurt. She was really suffering. She had sores in her mouth that were just terrible. So, even when she was trying to communicate, she couldn’t talk at all,” said Tani Griffin, Gloria Dunn’s daughter. “We all came to realize and understand it was too late.”

Gloria Dunn’s family says the woman would have wanted answers for what happened to her. Now, more than a year after the 75-year-old’s untimely death, her family is determined to get them.

“She wanted to understand why. She didn’t understand either, and when we knew, it was really powerful to be able to say to her, ‘This is what happened. It wasn’t your fault, and we’re so sorry,’” Griffin said. “The suffering that she endured through a mistake should never happen to anyone else, and that’s what we care about.”

the Rite Aid pharmacist, travis, Sandusky , ohio refused to refill my prescription for Percocet BECAUSE HE COULD

Posted on August 12, 2019 by Pharmaciststeve

this probably isn’t what you wanted but I wanted you to know that I took advice from your website and contacted corporate at rite aid after the pharmacist, travis, Sandusky , ohio refused to refill my prescription for Percocet BECAUSE HE COULD.  I filed a complaint with the board of pharmacy and the ADA.  I got an apology and my prescription 2 days later.  travis and a pharm tech yelled that they wouldn’t fill my prescription before I even got to the counter.  I was humiliated.  I dont even know if anyone was around I was so embarrassed I couldn’t get out of there fast enough.  I tried to make a joke about it and laughed so I wouldn’t look like the criminal they tried to imply that I was.  my insurance company tried to intercede on my behalf and they gave me the prior authorization without the 7 day fill and a new prescription.  they had me on a 3 way call trying to fix the mess that travis started.  I was on pain managment for 9 years. I used the same pharmacy.  my doctor office was raided by the dea and they took all his files.  I was on 3 40mg oxycontin a day along with 3 Norco and 3 10mg flexeril a day plus a 100mcg fent patch every 3 days.  I took my august prescriptions and tapered off of them at home alone and it was hell.  I wanted to rip off my own face.  I asked my PCP to help me and he wrote me a scrip for bentyl.  I took the sept. prescriptions to the hospital and let them shred them.  I kept one box of fent patches so I could kill myself when I couldn’t take the pain anymore.  someone took them from me. I lasted until January and went to a pain managment 65 miles away.  they made me take injections that damaged nerves and it took 7 months for them to heal. I went to the emergency room and they offered me a shot that I declined because I didn’t want them to think I was drug seeking. I am allowed 3 5mg percocets a day now.  I hate the night time.  the pain is so bad I cant sleep.  if I take a 4th pill I have to decide what day I can only have 2 pills.  I have a hard time even getting the flexeril to calm the muscle spasms that never stop and have pulled the lordotic curve from my spine.  the pain never stops and I cant work I cant sleep.  I am sorry that I have written a book.  dr Gregory gerber was my pain managment doctor, he kept me working and now I cant even go to the grocery store.  he did a stupid thing now all of us from 3 counties are being punished.

thank you for letting me rant

Oak Hill Hometown Pharmacy: 2,000 prescriptions for Subutex, a widely-abused Schedule III narcotic- that’s suppose to have no abuse potential ?

Posted on August 8, 2019 by Pharmaciststeve

Oak Hill pharmacy has registration suspended for improperly dispensing prescription drugs

wvmetronews.com/2019/08/08/oak-hill-pharmacy-has-registration-suspended-for-improperly-dispensing-prescription-drugs/

OAK HILL, W.Va. — Agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration began raiding the Oak Hill Hometown Pharmacy Thursday morning in Fayette County as the pharmacy faces civil charges.

Mike Stuart, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of West Virginia, stood alongside DEA officials Thursday morning at the Robert C. Byrd Federal Courthouse in Charleston to announce the pharmacy has had their DEA certificate of registration suspended for prescription drug abuse.

Stuart said the message is clear that prescribing controlled drugs is a privilege and not a right.

Mike Stuart

“Every pharmacy that fills prescriptions of scheduled narcotics has a corresponding responsibility to assure that those prescriptions do not include unresolvable red flags and are for a legitimate medical purpose,” he said.

The suspension is based on improper dispensing from at least December 2016 to March 2019, of certain prescription drugs including Subutex, an opioid replacement.

The order said “Pursuant to Sections 303 and 304 of the Controlled Substances Act, Title 21, United States Code, Sections 823 and 824, Oak Hill Hometown Pharmacy has had its DEA Certificate of Registration suspended because it constitutes an ‘imminent danger to the public health or safety.’”

Stuart’s office said the pharmacy filled approximately 2,000 prescriptions for Subutex, a widely-abused Schedule III narcotic, with numerous red flags and diversion. The pharmacy is registered with the DEA to handle substances in Schedules II through V.

The red flags according to the DEA were over half the prescriptions came from an out-of-state clinic located almost 200 miles away from its 819 Main Street East location Oak Hill. The pharmacy’s customers drove long distances to obtain and fill prescriptions, in some cases more than 600 miles. Stuart also said many of those customers paid in cash.

Stuart’s office revealed more details about the prescriptions that included they were issued by out-of-state physicians and approximately 96-percent of the prescriptions were paid for in cash. Added that multiple patients frequently presented prescriptions that had been written on the same day and the patients traveled long distances for even partial refills.

The suspension of the pharmacy’s registration will continue until a final determination is reached. During the suspension of the pharmacy, under the ownership of Martin Njoku, it may not fill any prescriptions for Schedule II through Schedule V narcotics.

Stuart said regular patients at the pharmacy will be directed to state Department of Health and Human Resources to get prescriptions filled.

“It’s very important the folks who have legitimate prescriptions be able to get those prescriptions,” he said. “We don’t want anybody to go without essential medicines needed for their health.”

There is a possibility of criminal charges down the road but currently it remains civil charges, according to Stuart.

“Oak Hill Hometown Pharmacy will have an opportunity to show cause before the DEA at a location to be determined on October 15, 2019, as to why its registration should not be revoked,” Stuart said.

The release stated that within 30 days after the date the pharmacy received its Order to Show Cause and Immediate Suspension of Registration, the pharmacy may file a written request for a hearing or file a waiver of hearing with a written statement regarding its perspective on the matters of fact and law involved in the Order.

Failure to do so results in the pharmacy waiving its right to a hearing and a final order may be issued.

FDA says some data used to approve world’s most expensive drug was faulty

Posted on August 7, 2019 by Pharmaciststeve

FDA says some data used to approve world’s most expensive drug was faulty

https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/health-news/fda-says-some-data-used-to-approve-worlds-most-expensive-drug-was-faulty/ar-AAFqWvw

The world’s most expensive drug was approved using data that was partially faulty, the Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday.

The drug, Zolgensma, was approved in May at the sky-high price of $2.1 million, and treats the deadly childhood disease of Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

Now, the FDA is saying it has learned that some of the product testing data used to approve the drug was faulty.

The FDA also said the company that makes the drug, AveXis, a unit of Novartis, learned the data was faulty before the drug was approved, but waited until after approval to tell the FDA.

“The agency will use its full authorities to take action, if appropriate, which may include civil or criminal penalties,” Peter Marks, an FDA official, said in a statement.

Despite the problems with some of the data, the FDA said it “remains confident that Zolgensma should remain on the market.”

The FDA said “only a small portion” of the product testing data was faulty due to a “data manipulation issue.”

The revelation is sure to increase scrutiny of Novartis, which was already facing criticism from drug pricing advocates for the price tag of the drug. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“The totality of the evidence demonstrating the product’s effectiveness and its safety profile continues to provide compelling evidence supporting an overall favorable benefit-risk profile,” said the FDA’s Marks. “However, the integrity of the product testing data used in the development of the product’s manufacturing process is still a matter that we are continuing to evaluate and take very seriously.”
