摘要
In May 2019 the US Supreme Court sent back to lower courts the question of whether Merck Sharpe & Dohme Corp was liable for atypical fractures from its osteoporosis drug alendronate because it did not identify the adverse effect in the product's label. This Viewpoint discusses the legal questions of liability raised by the case and the implication of the decision for the pharmaceutical industry and for patients alleging harmed from prescription drugs.
