where the plaintiffs

alleged that the pharmacist’s failure to properly

warn of the known dangers of desipramine was the

proximate cause of the patient’s death, the court

held that pharmacists have a duty beyond

accurately filling a prescription “based on known

contraindications, which would alert a reasonably

prudent pharmacist to a potential problem.” 27

However, the court did not find for the plaintiff

opining that pharmacist do not have knowledge

that desipramine may cause hypereosinophilic

syndrome.
