eDrugSearch.com Shares Guidance On FDA Commissioners’ Letter About The Affordable and Safe Prescription Drug Importation Act
Mar 29, 2017
Points out flaws in drug safety argument posed in open letter to Congress in response to proposed law allowing importation of medications from abroad
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, USA - March 29, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —
eDrugSearch.com, Inc., the trusted directory for the world’s safest, registered online pharmacies, today shared guidance on recent public comments on the Affordable and Safe Drug Importation Act. The Act, which was put forth in the Senate by Bernie Sanders, Cory Booker, and Bob Casey, would provide an oversight role for the FDA in helping individuals and pharmacies import medications from Canada at lower costs than are typically available in the USA. Former FDA Commissioners, however, issued comments that expressed concern about the safety of imported drugs.
“No one is disputing that there may some safety issues,” said Cary Byrd, CEO of eDrugSearch.com. “What we are telling people who are tracking this legislation, however, is that virtually any safety problem can be addressed by mechanisms we already have in place — or which can easily be adapted to importation from Canada. Do you see Canadians getting sick from unsafe prescriptions at a higher rate than Americans? You don’t… because they have some of the strictest pharmaceutical safety rules in the world.”
The week of March 12, four recent commissioners of the FDA (The U.S. Food and Drug Administration) sent an open letter to Congress about the proposed Affordable and Safe Drug Importation Act. The letter stated that the bill would potentially jeopardize consumer safety. People following the progress of this legislation can take note of how the Washington Post reacted. They wrote how the Internet has been a veritable lifeline of affordable prescription drugs, which are imported on a personal use basis from safe safe international online pharmacies which require valid prescriptions.
Further guidance on the issue can be found from Dr. Roger Bate, an economist who writes frequently about drug safety and quality. Dr. Bate has demonstrated the safety of drug importation through testing medications and reviewing the practices of online pharmacies. While it is true that some Americans may be buying bad medications online from other countries, research data strongly suggests that Americans who purchase medication over the Internet from credentialed online pharmacies overseas are typically getting safe drugs at lower costs.
eDrugSearch.com serves as a trusted directory for the world’s safest, registered online pharmacies. Customers can easily compare prescription drug prices and make informed decisions. The company encourages consumers to share their experiences by contributing ratings and reviews. Consumers will learn the best pharmacies for their needs, while searching for valuable coupons.
