The second lecture on "Counterfeit Drugs" for our CE last Wednesday was given by Mrs. Maria Theresa M. Gutierrez, Food-Drug Regulation Officer IV, of the Bureau of Food and Drugs.
During the lecture, she mentioned that pharmacists who want to attend conventions, seminars and similar events which require them to be physically absent in the drugstores where they are hired to work, should file a leave of absence and have it received by the owners to protect themselves just in case the owners decide to run the business without a pharmacist on duty.
She was also very accommodating in answering our questions and I was very happy that she gave me her contact number and e-mail address just in case I have something to report to their office.
To report any malpractice or violation of existing provisions of the Pharmacy Law, Mrs. Gutierrez may be reached at (0919) 430-96-49 or at her e-mail address, tmgutierrez@bfad.gov.ph
