Safe Drug Importation: Lowering Prescription Costs for Americans.
This law aims to lower prescription drug costs by allowing citizens, pharmacies, and distributors to legally import safe, approved drugs from Canada, the UK, the EU, and Switzerland. It establishes an FDA-certified system for foreign sellers and rigorous oversight to ensure imported medications are authentic and safe. This grants citizens access to cheaper medications already available in other countries.
Key points
Citizens can legally import up to a 90-day supply of prescription drugs for personal use, intended to lower treatment costs and increase access to therapies.
The FDA will certify foreign pharmacies and distributors, ensuring they meet strict safety and quality standards, including the requirement for English labeling.
Drug manufacturers are prohibited from blocking importation or charging certified foreign sellers higher prices than those offered locally, preventing market manipulation.
