 The Role of the Clinical Pharmacologist in Animal Health
Of great concern to veterinary clinical pharmacologists within a basic science department is whether or not they will be supported and rewarded for their endeavors.
It is difficult to argue that a teaching hospital should hire a clinical pharmacologist if that individual is not addressing all of these needs, when that same money could be spent instead on a surgeon or internist who might better accomplish each of these responsibilities.
Nevertheless, the evidence is clear: the veterinary clinical pharmacologist has a pivotal role in maintaining the optimization of therapeutic practices for both food and companion animal medicine.

 FDA Approves Safer Seldane Developed By Georgetown Pharmacologist
Woosley initiated his research of Seldane's cardiac side effects when he became aware of a patient at Georgetown University Medical Center who had fled out from high levels of the medication in her blood.
Woosley and fellow Georgetown clinical pharmacologists found that Seldane, but not its breakdown product, fexofenadine, produced the unwanted effects on the heart, and that fexofenadine was actually the active and safer antihistamine.
Researchers established that a person's liver normally converts Seldane to fexofenadine, but when the liver conversion of Seldane to fexofenadine is blocked by other drugs or disease, Seldane can build up in the body and cause heart rhythm problems.
