Ten prescription drugs must be detained at U.S. borders if people buy them abroad. The medications which include the acne drug Accutane and the date-rape drug GHB are too risky for unsupervised use, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The action reflects the government’s effort to control “adverse events from the products it regulates,” says an FDA news release. It also adds teeth to an already-existing FDA Import Alert, which informs FDA field personnel when these drugs may be imported. Under this action, anyone trying to import the drugs may be detained and refused admission to the United States. U.S. Customs personnel will refer any attempted importation to the local field office.
