FDA Wants Common Meds 2B Sold Without Prescription- Retiring in Wisconsin Dells

The (FDA) Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday July 17, 2018 announced plans to make it easier for some commonly used medications to be sold without a prescription.  The new guidelines are being designed to make it more convenient for patients to get medication when needed.

Drug manufacturers are being assigned the task of adding useful information to packaging labels and creating helpful online questionnaires so the patient can better decide if the medication will work for them.

This is a huge money saver and expected to be heavily supported by the Health Insurance Industry.  The FDA is developing guidelines to alter drug manufacturing delivery chains that benefit the patient by removing the time and financial cost that accompanies filling a prescription in the United States.
