ALERT!
FDA Warns
Consumers About Potential Problems at Two
Baltimore Pharmacies
Expired and suspected counterfeit
prescription drugs found at pharmacies
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is
warning consumers who filled prescriptions
at The Medicine Shoppe pharmacies located
at 8035A Liberty Road and 5900
Reisterstown Road in Baltimore that they
may have received drugs that were either
expired or suspected counterfeit. The FDA
is particularly concerned because a number
of the drugs are for serious diseases and
could have an adverse effect on treatment.
Medications include Gabapentin (100 mg,
300 mg and 400 mg). More information and
recommendations, go to

In the Face of
Pain Advocacy Toolkit
The comprehensive In the Face of Pain
Online Advocacy Toolkit is a free
interactive resource for the pain advocacy
community. It provides pain-specific
advocacy information and resources
covering topics related to legislative,
media, community and professional
organizations, as well as advocacy through
research and access to care. The web site
also provides advocates with the ability
to research hundreds of current
pain-related statistics based on
condition, population or issue and create
individualized advocacy action plans and
educational materials, such as fact sheets
or presentations that are tailored to the
advocate's specific area of focus.
