New federal drug safety bill under consideration

May 4th, 2007 by Erich Vieth

Consumers Union is reporting on developments relating to a new FDA bill regarding drug safety:

Consumers Union is urging the Senate to approve strong prescription drug-safety provisions this week in a major Food and Drug Administration bill, and resist attempts to weaken the bill when it comes to triggering quick safety action or moderating mass advertising of a new drug when there are signs of danger.

“This bill will save countless lives in the years to come by giving the FDA more funding and flexible tools to ensure the safety of prescription drugs in the marketplace,” Jim Guest, president and CEO of Consumers Union, publisher of Consumer Reports, wrote in a letter to the Senate.
