Importers of Canadian Drugs Receive Warning Letters

The FDA issued warning letters January 22 to Expedite-Rx, a pharmacy benefits manager; SPC Global Technologies Ltd., an insurance claims processor, and Employer Health Options Inc., an insurance company, all of Temple, TX. The letters notified the companies that the FDA considers their drug import program to be illegal and a risk to public health. The letter accuses the firms of facilitating illegal imports of prescription drugs from Canada, and misleading the public about the drugs' safety, and states that these products could present significant risk to the program's members, who include employees and retirees of the City of Montgomery, AL.

The FDA noted in its announcement concerning the warning letters that it had found increasing evidence that many drugs obtained from foreign sources that purport to be U.S.-approved or Canadian products are, in fact, products of unknown quality that were manufactured and packaged in other parts of the world.
