On the recordNovember 18, 2013

I thank my friend Dr. Coburn for his remarks, concern, and assistance with this legislation. I agree with him, and want to clarify that nothing in this legislation will constrain a doctor's options to practice medicine. The legislation tries to ensure that if a doctor or patient needs access to compounded drugs, that there is an FDA-regulated source for those drugs where the quality standards are uniform nationwide. Doctors know their patients best and should have access to accurate information on the safety and quality of the drugs they use. If there are unintended consequences to this legislation, I stand ready to work with my colleagues and provide necessary oversight.
