Section 29
SEC. 29. Responsibility for quality of drugs.&mdashIn cases of drugs, pharmaceuticals or poisons sold in their original packings, the seal of which has not been broken or tampered with, the liability that may arise because of their quality and purity, rests upon the manufacturer or in his absence, upon the importer, the distributor, representative or dealer who was responsible for their distribution or sale. It shall be unlawful for any person, whoever, to manufacture, prepare, sell or administer any prescription, drug, pharmaceutical or poison under any fraudulent name, direction or pretence or to adulterate any drug, pharmaceutical, medicine or poison so used, sold or offered for sale. Any drug, pharmaceutical, medicine or poison shall be held to be adulterated or deteriorated within the meaning of this section if it differs from the standard of quality or purity given in the United States Pharmacopoeia or National Formulary, both in their latest edition or, in lieu thereof, in any standard reference for drugs and medicines given official recognition; and those which fall within the meaning as provided for in the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, (Republic Act Numbered Thirty-seven hundred twenty).
