In new lawsuit, Florida says FDA stalling on drug importation program

It’s Florida versus the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as the state’s quest to import cheaper prescription meds from up north has veered into court this week.

Florida is suing the U.S. drug regulator for allegedly dragging its feet on a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request linked to a drug importation program. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis inked legislation on the issue back in June 2019.
