UT: Supreme Court on the Learned Intermediary Rule and Pharmacists

Jensen v. Walgreen Co., 2025 UT 41, ¶43, 597 P.3d 305, 315 (2025) (“In negligence claims, the learned intermediary rule exempts pharmacists from the duty to warn patients of the general risks and side effects of FDA-approved drugs. But the rule does not alter a pharmacist’s general duty of care to a patient when the pharmacist has knowledge of a patient-specific risk with respect to a prescribed medication, when the drug is not approved by the FDA, or when the prescription has an error apparent on its face.”).
