I refer to the article (May 20) about the drug Vioxx which was launched recently.

I bought Vioxx on May 18 and the accompanying information insert was only in French. This is unacceptable.

I commented as much to the dispensing chemist, who said he would attract the agent`s attention to my observation.

Has the Malta Chamber of Pharmacists got a language policy about such inserts?

If it does, why is it not enforced? If it does not, why not?
