Safe Drug Imports Would Be Difficult --US Study
Importing cheaper prescription medicines would require costly safety measures and save U.S. consumers little money, a government task force said on Tuesday in a report that lawmakers and others criticized as echoing drug industry scare tactics.

The long-awaited report to Congress did not say whether importation should be legal, but said any legislation to allow it must ensure imports meet U.S. Food and Drug Administration standards.
