Health insurers gave a tentative thumbs-up Monday to the Food and Drug Administration's proposal to make drugs treating chronic conditions available without a prescription by classifying them in an all-new category.
She said safety is important but downplayed some of the concerns, saying that under preliminary guidance by the FDA, only drugs with a long, reliable track record would likely be eligible for the "safe use" category.
"Obviously, it's much easier for you to go to your drug store and pick up an item than it is to make an appointment, take a prescription, drop it off and get it filled," she said. "It dramatically increases access and will up sales of these drugs. It's like going from a boutique drug to mass distribution."
