"It's getting o that prescription.. drug re- calls ordered by the federal government's health protection branch are as common an occurrence as the recalling of defective aur tomobiles,” said Peter Bell, executive co -or` dinator of the B.C. Professional Pharmacists Society. . The society's concern is backed up by the B.C. Pharmaceutical Association, which, to- gether with the society, is concerned with alerting doctors and dispensing pharmacists about the dangers of some drugs. "There are about 300 pharmaceutical houses putting out drugs throughout Can- ada," Mr. Bell said. "Of these I'd estimate 200 are reputable outfits." The task of protecting the public from taking medication that may not alleviate 4 specific symptoms or conditions, has been, further complicated by new. provincial legis- ' latioin which allows the pharmacists to choose any brand of a Particular drug if the preseribing.physician doesn't indicate other. wise. The only stipulation that before a pharmacist selects an alternate rnate brand of a drug, that drug must be of a lower price than the brand originally prescribed. "With all the recent publicity and em- phasis on buying drugs by their generic names to save money, the customer insists on cheaper brand name which in feet may not do him any good at all" said Roy Poy- ang, registrar the Pharmaceutical M. sociation. It doesn't mean that all lower-priced drugs are inferior, but it does mean that a doctor's or phar'macist's advice should be listened „to, Mr. Fevang said. One problem is bioavailability — the amount of the drug that is releasea within the body. The above reprint appeared in the Aug. 28 edition of the London Free Press. We wish to congratulate the B.C.

Eluding the health protection inspect, is relatively. simple, the experts ;say. d'A drug 'firm opt to make a fast buck can operate for at least three months fore the government catches up," .a pharma- cist society executive explained, Under the current system, a compai y doesn't have to submit an application to produce drugs until 30 des .after pproduc- tion begins. Paperwork on the application takes another 60 days, and then au Inspect- or is sent to the company. Increased publicity about drugs, educa- tion of doctors and phihrmacists about avail- -able vail-able brands and 'rigorous government in- spection are the only answers to the drug dilemma, the pharmacist's say. The era of doing that which is politically discreet appears to, more than ever, be upon us hese days.

Staff Photo Beef prices rise while the price of cattle falls Charles Gracey, manager of Canadian Cattlemen's Associa- tion saidtoday in Toronto, "Beef producers and consumers have just 'cause to be disturbed about recent developments in the. beef trade. For while farm gate prices fob finished cattle have declined sharply in the past month, ne commensurate reduction in retail • prices has been noted. In fact in many retail chains the price of most beef cuts has risen. This indicates, that such chains are substantially increasing their" mark-up on beef." "For example, in three major retail outlets in the Toronto area the average price cliarged for beef cuts has risdn 5.3 per 'cent, 8.1 per cent and 6 per cent since May 31st, 1972. During the same period of time the farm gate price for fat cattle has declined at least 8 per cent. Thus retailers are paying substantially less for car- cass be,ef and. charging con- sumers substantially more for ORVILLE HASTINGS, a custom harvester working in the Wingham area has been on the go from dawn to dusk lately when weather permitted, getting in the grain crops.

These three major re- tail outlets are now charging a mark-up on beef from about 28 per cent ' to 33 per cent as com pared to average mark-ups of 17 per cent to 26 per cent in late May. In our experience," Mr. Gracey continued, "retailers are all too ready to pass any in- creased costs along to consumers as quickly as possible, but when cattle prices are falling they are often reluctant to reduce retail prices as quickly." -• "Beef producers are not happy about the sharp and unwarranted drop in the live cattle market but when this decline occurs they be- lieve that the savings should be passed onto consumers and not be skimmed off by the retailers," concluded Mr. Gracey.
