The Food and Drug Administration want to approve more generic versions of complex drugs to expand access for patients. FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb argues that the price of making the complex drug scares generic drug makers from attempting to produce them. According to ABC News, "the FDA will begin giving companies guidance on how to win approvals, including offering meetings with agency staff early on, to shorten the time for development and approval." The FDA also approved a cheaper drug to treat Hepatitis C. What are your thoughts?
