Haw. Civil Jury Instr. 11.10
LEARNED INTERMEDIARY
The duty of a manufacturer or distributor of a medical
device or prescription drug to warn of a risk inherent in that
product is satisfied when the manufacturer or distributor gives
an adequate warning to the physician who prescribed or provided
the product. The law permits the manufacturer and distributor
to rely upon the physician to forward to the patient, who is the
ultimate user of the product, any warnings given by the
manufacturer or distributor.
