U.S. regulators approved Florida’s plan to import medicines from Canada, marking the first state approval for drug importation. The plan aims to lower pharmaceutical costs, supported by lawmakers from both parties. However, pharmaceutical groups in the U.S. are vowing to fight the plan. Canadian officials and medical organizations have raised concerns about the potential impact on their nation’s drug supply. The FDA has been working on regulations to allow broader drug imports and is open to working with other states and Native American tribes on similar plans. It is uncertain how well state drug importation plans will work in practice.
