Reliable Entry for Medicines at Everyday Discounts through Importation with Effective Safeguards Act of 2004 (REMEDIES Act)
S 2307
This new proposal, which Sen. Grassley named the "Reliable Entry for Medicines at Everyday Discounts through Importation with Effective Safeguards Act of 2004" (S.2307), or the REMEDIES Act, would immediately open the door for U.S. consumers to buy prescription drugs from Canadian pharmacies while the FDA gets a new drug importation system up and running. The bill shuts down rogue operators and requires the FDA to establish a new system within 90 days. The new system would allow individuals, pharmacies and drug wholesalers to buy qualified drugs for import to the United States from foreign exporters who register with the FDA.
