Many local governments shrug off FDA warning about Canadian drug imports
7 March 2019 - Cities and local governments in several states said they will continue to use a Canadian company to offer employees prescription drugs at a highly reduced price, even though federal officials raised safety concerns about the practice last week.
The municipalities use CanaRx, which connects their employees with brick-and-mortar pharmacies in Canada, Great Britain and Australia to fill prescriptions.
In a letter Thursday to CanaRx, the FDA said the company has sent "unapproved" and "misbranded" drugs to U.S. consumers, jeopardising their safety.
