Federal Alerts
Patients battling cancer and other chronic diseases are increasingly facing yet another obstacle in the fight against their disease – drug shortages. Thankfully, bi-partisan legislation, the Preserving Access to Life-Saving Medications Act (S. 296 / H.R. 2245), has been introduced in the Senate and House that would provide the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with a warning system in the form of a notification of a discontinuation or prolonged interruption of a medication’s production; allowing the FDA to better deal impending prescription drug shortages. Please contact your legislators now and urge them to cosponsor the Preserving Access to Life-Saving Medications Act now!
