Developers need samples of brand drug to develop generic drugs. #FDA cannot stand idly by and allow companies to frustrate generic drug manufacturers, ultimately keeping patients from accessing lower cost generic drugs. https://t.co/7mxKAFLSTY https://t.co/9zCHIAv3of

We are concerned that providers and patients may select or change drug treatment based on the results from insufficiently substantiated genetic tests, which could lead to potentially serious health consequences for patients.

Tests that make such claims that have not been evaluated by the FDA and are not supported by prescribing recommendations in the FDA-approved drug label, may not be supported by scientific and clinical evidence, and may not be accurate.

We believe, with more scientific study, there is great potential for pharmacogenetics. We have so much more to learn about the use of these tests for specific medications, what the results mean, and how we can apply the information to improve a patient’s health.

Yesterday, we announced the signing of an agreement with U.S. Customs and Border Protection in our continuing joint effort to protect American consumers from illegal and harmful products entering through International Mail Facilities and Ports of Entry. https://t.co/7yScWZ3ApX https://t.co/URZPZojViJ

Medical products shipped from overseas through our IMFs come with unnecessary risks that threaten public health. We’re continuing to take appropriate action and step up our investigational capabilities as bad actors try to circumvent the safety of our supply chains.

RT @CitizenCohn: Today @SGottliebFDA steps down. His tenure was marked by crusades on addiction & vaccination that won widespread praise from public health advocates. He's a conservative, but even liberals thought he managed the agency well. https://t.co/gkuL4XiSL5

We’ll continue to strengthen our collaborative efforts with USPS, CBP and DEA to detect opioids and other illegal medical products from reaching consumers.

We currently cannot advise what foods to avoid at this time. E. coli infection can cause severe stomach cramps, vomiting, & bloody diarrhea. If you think you have E. coli symptoms contact your healthcare provider to prevent worsening of symptoms.
