Geographic variation in rosiglitazone use surrounding FDA warnings in the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The purpose of this study was to document variation in the use of rosiglitazone and other glucose- lowering drugs across 21 Veterans Integrated Service Networks. It found that aggregate rosiglitazone use increased monotonically from 7.7 percent, in the quarter it was added to the VA formulary, to a peak of 15.3 percent in the quarter when the FDA issued the safety alert.

Prescriber perceptions of a near real-time fax alert program for potential drug-drug interactions.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether prescribers thought that near real-time fax alerts for potential drug-drug interactions (PDDIs) were a good way to communicate with them. The researchers found that physician perceptions of the value of the fax alerts were dependent on which combination of drugs was involved.
