What is a drug interactions expert witness?

Drug interactions expert witness candidates typically have a PhD with areas of expertise in pharmacokinetics, clinical pharmacology, internal medicine, microbiology, and/or are board certified registered pharmacists (RPh). In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, a law firm may request a drug interaction professional with prior expert testimony experience. Experts may be a member of an industry association such as the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), or the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations (IFPMA).

What types of cases require a drug interactions expert witness?
