Some practices utilized by brand firms to delay generic competition have been the target of recent FTC and legislative actions. One concern was the practice of listing several new patents late in the product life cycle in an apparent effort to trigger successive 30-month stays to delay generic competition. To prevent this practice, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 limited each branded product to one 30-month stay (Padden and lenkins 2004). [Pg.169]

However, dentists may also prescribe medicinal products on an NHS prescription form. For England and Wales, this prescribing must be limited to those items listed in Part XVIIA of the Drug Tariff for England and Wales (see Section 2.4.1), for Northern Ireland, those items listed in Part IXA of the Northern Ireland Drug Tariff (see Section 2.4.2) and for Scotland those items listed on Part 8A of the Scottish Drug Tariff (see Section 2.4.3). Only those items listed within these parts of the respective Drug Tariffs may be prescribed by a dentist on an NHS dental prescription form. [Pg.46]
