Drug Importation

The state sued the FDA over what it said was a “reckless delay” in approving its drug importation plan. Nearly a year after the federal officials gave the green light, the program has yet to begin.

U.S. and Canadian officials this month discussed the Biden administration's approval of a Florida plan to import cheaper prescription drugs from Canada, which is concerned about safeguarding its drug supply.

The FDA said Florida’s program will be authorized for two years, and state officials must test the drugs to make sure they’re authentic and relabel them so that they comply with U.S. standards.

With a decision expected this fall on whether Florida can import cost-saving drugs, the state lashed out after federal officials raised issues such as a requirement for a secured warehouse in Michigan.

A judge has put on hold key parts of a lawsuit filed by Florida against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, after the federal agency said it expects to make a decision by Oct. 31 on the state's plan to import cheaper prescription drugs from Canada.
