Industry group wants FDA to stop drug importation study
31 October 2018 - A coalition of insurers and drug manufacturers wants the Trump administration to stop its research into importing certain prescription drugs from foreign countries.
The Council for Affordable Health Coverage, which represents insurers, employers, pharmacy benefit managers and drug companies, said it wants the FDA to disband an agency group examining drug importation.
In a letter sent to FDA and first shared with The Hill, the group said drug importation is a “risky scheme” that gambles with patient safety.
