Senate OKs Canadian drugs
FDA warns it might block imports
The Senate voted Friday to allow drugs to be imported
from Canada, where prices are lower than in the United
States, acting for the second time in as many days
to hold down the cost of prescription medication.
Even before the 62-28 roll call, the Food and Drug
Administration signaled strongly it might use its
authority to block the change, warning of a potential
security breach and saying it “cannot guarantee
the safety of the drugs.”
But that, in turn, drew skepticism from Sen. Byron
Dorgan, D-N.D., the chief sponsor of the proposal.
He said the Canadian drug supply chain was virtually
identical to the one in this country. “It’s
virtually impossible ... to make a safety issue”
out of the proposal, he said.
