It isn’t difficult to imagine a scenario in which terrorist groups could use this system to either finance operations or, worse, as a vehicle of attack.” Key findings of the report include: “We understand that some Americans are looking for cheaper drugs from abroad, but this report underscores the dangers of doing so,” says Billy Tauzin, president and CEO of PhRMA. “We have several safe and legal options for those looking for ways to reduce their prescription drug costs, including the Partnership for Prescription Assistance. We encourage all Americans to turn to these safe and credible methods before putting their health at risk buying unregulated drugs from a Website or another country.” For more information, visit www.phrma.org.

As the nation tightens its borders against possible terrorist attacks, it risks undermining those efforts by allowing the importation of non-FDA-approved prescription drugs. This was the conclusion of a report issued by Giuliani Partners, a firm headed by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. “Examination and Assessment of Prescription Drug Importation from Foreign Sources to the United States” was commissioned by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America. The report found that the risk of importing drugs far outweighs any benefits and calls on the Department of Homeland Security to conduct a threat and vulnerability assessment.
