The problems weren't due to Warner-Lambert aquiring Pfizer/Parke-Davis.
The problem is with the spotty standards that Warner-Lambert has an extensive history of. This isn't the first time "manufacturing difficulties" have effected medication availability...
In fact, the reason why they have "manufacturing difficulties" is because Warner-Lambert apparently has problems following the basic standards of manufacturing required by the FDA. The FDA has in the past been forced to get a court injunction to get this co. to comply with basic standards (Good Manufacturing Practice) This court order included: "All laboratory personnel will be trained so as to be fully
qualified to perform their assigned duties."
and "Outside experts will certify that manufacturing processes are in compliance with GMPs.(Good Manufacturing Practice)"One year, more than a dozen meds had to be recalled because this co failed to comply with basic standards.
I believe this is the 3rd time Nardil was involved
