CHPA Advances Alternative to Prescription Mandate
Date:10/7/2011

rease in the number of visits to doctor's offices that will further stretch an already overburdened Kentucky healthcare system.  Further, I do not believe it is fair to burden legitimate patients with additional costs when criminal drug addicts are the real problem." 

Kentucky consumers and families feel the same way and have consistently voiced their opposition to the prescription mandate for PSE.  

"As a mother of six who is frequently forced to deal with my family's colds and allergies, I would hope that Kentucky legislators listen to the consumer voice and find a way to punish criminals, not us," said Pat Davis, homemaker and mother of six in Boone County, Kentucky.  "Requiring a prescription for the cold and allergy medicines families depend on would not only cost mothers like me more time, but more money too.  There has to be a better way to address problems with criminal drug addicts other than burdening legitimate, law-abiding, consumers.  Punish the bad guys, not my family."

CHPA is the 130-year-old-trade association representing U.S. manufacturers and distributors of over-the-counter medicines and dietary supplements.
