Drug reactions are a common occurrence on a day to day practice! We know that law will catch up immediately with the treating doctor if it leads to death, disability or permanent damage of any kind. According to my belief drug reactions are more common with spurious and poor quality pharmaceutical products! My simple question is who is finally answerable legally for the unintentional harm caused to the patient due to reaction/anaphylaxis since the drug ingested or injected was spurious or of low quality!
Does the present system guarantee that medicine issued from the hospital stores was of reasonable standard? Who is to be blamed, treating doctor or the manufacturer of such a product or both? What is the status of the drugs procuring agency in such a scenario? Kindly opine!
