Should unlicensed pharmacies be allowed to dispense in Nevada?
(Don't live in Nevada? Click here to write a letter to your Senators.)
The US Senate is going to be voting on a number of healthcare bills this year (Obamacare repeal, FDA Fee Reauthorization, etc) and we expect advocates of unlicensed foreign drug importation to offer amendments every time. Their proposals allow unlicensed foreign fake pharmacies to dispense in Nevada. This isn't safe for patients! Your Senators need to hear from licensed pharmacists that this is dangerous to patients! This two step process is really short!

- Step 3: There is no Step 3.
Why does it require things like Prefix (Mr, Ms, etc) and my phone number and email address? Are you going to call me, or sell that information? Because of so much spam, Senate offices require that we collect and deliver to them information for people submitting letters such as Prefix, Phone, and Email address. We will not call you based upon the information you submit here. If you check the box to stay informed we will add you to our own in-house email list, but not sell, rent, loan, give or share it with anyone else.
Have Americans been hurt by unlicensed pharmacies dispensing to Americans?
You could ask the family of Betty Hunter, who received a counterfeit cancer drug and succumbed to her cancer, if they are concerned. Or the American patients at hundreds of oncology clinics who did business with the same fake drug smugglers.
Or the family of Marcia Bergeron who took a counterfeit laced with heavy metals and died of toxic metals poisoning.
Pharmacies and pharmacists are licensed to protect patient safety. When our pharmacy system relies purely on honesty, patients get hurt.
