FDA Continues Campaign Against Importing of Unapproved Foreign Drugs
FDA is continuing its aggressive campaign to ensure that unapproved and potentially risky foreign
prescription drugs are not imported and sold in the United States, as evidenced by several recent
actions. In one, FDA informed CanaRx that its business of supplying imported prescription drugs to
the city of Springfield, Mass., is illegal. In another action, FDA informed Illinois officials that
their plans to import foreign drugs will create potential hazards for patients. And in a related
matter, a federal district judge found that foreign drug importer Rx Depot "violates the law," an
action that FDA says "sends a clear signal that those who would put profit before safety will not be
allowed to threaten the public health." Press release on CanaRx:
