Thank Sen. Alexander and the Senate Appropriations Committee for Their Support!

Last Friday, the Senate Appropriations Committee criticized the FDA for ignoring doctors, patients, and compounding pharmacists by issuing new proposed regulations on compounding pharmacies without sufficiently consulting the stakeholders.

The language scolding the FDA was inserted into a committee report at the request of Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), who has committed himself to making sure stakeholders are heard: “If FDA isn’t sitting down with doctors, patients, and pharmacists and communicating how it is implementing the law, then I will stay on FDA until it does.”

Thank Sen. Alexander and the Senate Appropriations Committee for their support, and encourage your own senators to exercise greater oversight over the FDA in their power grab.

Thank You for Your Oversight of the FDA!

I was extremely pleased to learn that on May 23, the Senate Appropriations Committee chastised the FDA for ignoring doctors, patients, and compounding pharmacists by issuing new proposed regulations on compounding pharmacies without sufficiently consulting the stakeholders.

Compounded medications are vital to the health of many Americans. Yet the FDA ignored the problems at a compounding facility for nearly ten years, and then made a blatant power grab that would benefit the mainstream pharmaceutical industry and crush small, independent compounding pharmacies.

Last April, after a thorough investigation, the Senate Energy and Commerce Committee concluded that the FDA could have prevented the meningitis tragedy: "We now know that doctors, patients, providers, and whistleblowers tried to warn FDA for years....Rather than do its job and protect the patients...FDA chose not to act. We found that FDA focused on perfecting their legal reasons for inaction instead of protecting families. Even the FDA staff wanted to go back and inspect these unsanitary manufacturers. And the FDA hierarchy said 'no.' "

Once again we have the FDA ignoring its mandate and thumbing its nose at Congress. We applaud your taking the FDA to task for their part in this compounding fiasco, and appreciate your willingness to make sure they are listening to compounding stakeholders. Please continue to exercise oversight over the FDA, and listen to doctors, patients, and compounding pharmacists instead of the pharmaceutical industry and their powerful lobbyists!
