Heparin: Who's in Charge Here?

The American owner of the Chinese factory that produced the tainted

blood thinner heparin cites trade secrets in refusing to tell the New

York Times where it got the pig intestines used in making the drug. A

reporter visiting the villages that are part of the supply chain

reveals a dense network of small workshops, " unregulated and often

unsanitary. "

The Wall Street Journal reports the Chinese government believes that

" checks of pharmaceutical ingredients made in China are ultimately the

responsibility of countries that buy them. "

Yesterday, Janet Woodcock, deputy director of the Food and Drug

Administration, told Rep. DeLauro (D-CN) on Capitol Hill that the

agency doesn't have enough inspectors to monitor all the foreign drugs

and drug component chemicals entering the U.S.

Enough said.

*** This about sums up why the courts need to start second-guessing

the FDA, and why individuals have to personally evaluate the safety of

the drugs they take --Nass
