Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted January 5 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 5 Florida is one step closer to being able to import cheaper prescription drugs from Canada. The Food and Drug Administration says it has authorized Florida's proposed program to import selected drugs. Under federal law, any state or tribe can submit a proposal for importation, and a few have. The law allows importation of certain prescription drugs in bulk if doing so would save Americans money without adding safety risks. The FDA also has to give its blessing. Florida's proposal, championed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, is the first to be OK'd by the agency. The state has to clear a lot more hurdles, however, before imports could begin. Among other things, it has to specify which drugs it wants to import, verify that they meet FDA's standards and relabel them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
