Academy Pushes Health and Human Services Secretary to Meet on Avastin
By Christi Foist
The Academy sent a letter this week to Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell requesting a meeting to discuss access to Avastin for office use. In the letter, the Academy expresses opposition to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s recent guidance for traditional compounding pharmacies that limits distribution of compounded and repackaged drugs for office use by these facilities.
