Safe and Affordable Drugs from Canada Act of 2025
This bill, S 641 (Safe and Affordable Drugs from Canada Act of 2025), would allow U.S. individuals to import certain prescription drugs from Canada under specific conditions. It requires drugs to come from FDA-certified Canadian pharmacies, match U.S.-approved drugs in active ingredients and form, be for personal use (not resale) in 90-day quantities, and include a U.S. physician's prescription. The bill excludes controlled substances, biologics, infused drugs, and other high-risk medications. It directly affects U.S. patients seeking lower-cost prescriptions who meet these criteria. The FDA would establish the certification process for Canadian pharmacies within 180 days of enactment.
