Doctors, sometime, prescribe the chemotherapeutic drugs, without the knowledge of the limitations of the drug, a new study said.
The new released report showed that sometime, pharmacist and even oncologists don’t have the updated information of the drugs used to treat cancer.
Common physicians, most of the time, rely on the information of the compendia (the resource used by oncologists and pharmacists) for off-label information and accept them as a most authentic source very often, when the question about insurance arises about the drug.
The researchers found that in fact there are flaws in the system that used to ensure the up gradation of the knowledge of the compendia and doesn’t provide the most recent information on the regular basis.
