E-drug: Re: Standardized pill imprint codes USP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bernhard Edgren's comments are well taken, but I believe
preventing counterfeit drugs is going to have to be independently
addressed from the question of an identifying code for the
consumer and practitioners. A universal standardized imprint code
neither helps nor hurts efforts to deal with counterfeiting.
