RMF ATTORNEY DAVID F. DURSO PRESENTS PROGRAM TO THE NASSAU COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION HOSPITAL AND HEALTH LAW COMMITTEE

Uniondale, New York, April 9, 2019 – Ruskin Moscou Faltischek, P.C. announced today that Associate, David F. Durso, presented a program to the Nassau County Bar Association Hospital and Health Law Committee, entitled FDA Investigation and Prosecution of physicians for non-FDA approved substances; How to ensure that your clients spot the “red-flags” and comply with FDA regulations on April 4, 2019.

The program addressed the issues surrounding the importation of non-FDA approved drugs into the United States. Physicians are often solicited by non-FDA approved distributers that sell “misbranded” drugs from overseas. The program explained the “red-flags” that physicians can look for and steps that they can take to ensure that they are only purchasing legitimate FDA approved drugs from an FDA approved distributor. Physicians that purchase non-FDA approved drugs from overseas face criminal prosecution as well as civil liability for the possession and administration of these “misbranded” drugs and biologicals.
