DESPITE public disapproval and
consumer group outcry, The
California Board of Pharmacy has
knocked back a proposal which
would have seen larger type
mandated on medicine labels.
In the lead-up to the vote the
Board received more than 1,000
letters from the public requesting it
to approve larger type standards
(the most letters it said it had ever
received on a single topic), and was
set legislate larger type standards.
However according to The Los
Angeles Times the Board changed
its position only days before it was
due to vote when a representative
of a pharmacy retailer - who
happened to be a major supporter
of governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
- was appointed to the panel.
The smaller type size has been
ratified along with a provision which
allows customers to request bigger
text from their pharmacist.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 23 Apr 10 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 23 Apr 10
