Upton: “Across the nation, Americans going to the doctor’s office or pharmacy will now have the confidence that their drugs are safe.”
House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) visited Allegan, Michigan, drug manufacturer Perrigo Company this week to celebrate the enactment of the H.R. 3204, the Drug Quality and Security Act. The Drug Quality and Security Act was the product of a bipartisan, bicameral breakthrough led by Chairman Upton following the committee’s yearlong investigation of the fungal meningitis outbreak. The bill protects traditional pharmacies and clarifies laws related to human drug compounding while also strengthening the prescription drug supply chain in order to defend American families against counterfeit drugs and to protect jobs. Perrigo is one of the world’s largest generic drug manufacturers and employs approximately 3,500 people in West Michigan. As Upton explained during his visit to Perrigo, “Not only does it help employers with jobs created here - it also helps consumers at the end because they know the drugs they take are much safer.”- See more at: http://energycommerce.house.gov/icymi/upton-touts-committee%E2%80%99s-landmark-drug-quality-and-security-law-during-visit-michigan-drug#sthash.rGoaQaaQ.dpuf
