I appreciate the Chairman's support and hope to work with him to advance this legislation. I also hope he will join me in calling on the FDA to use its existing authority to ensure patient medication information is uniform, accurate, and up-to-date. The FDA is currently engaged in efforts to revise the patient education materials that are distributed to patients. However, the FDA's current plan falls short of ensuring that consumers will receive unbiased and accurate information about their prescription drugs. It also fails to ensure that patient medication information is consistent for identical or similar products.
