FDA Urges Minnesota Governor to Reconsider Drug Website

The Food and Drug Administration has sent Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty a harsh warning, calling a state program to help Minnesotans buy low-priced prescription drugs from Canada "unsafe, unsound and ill-considered." The letter stopped short of ordering a shutdown of the month-old Minnesota RX Connect Web site, which directs people to state-approved Canadian pharmacies, but urged Pawlenty to "reconsider your action."
