FDA commissioner Marty Makary said it would be “magical” for consumers to see prescription drugs on pharmacy shelves instead of behind the counter.
Makary, who has been helping Donald Trump shorten the drug review process, stated that medications should be available over the counter instead of prescribed. He said that the U.S. should allow “common sense medications that are safe” to be available without the need for a doctor’s visit.
“If you think about it, if a medication is safe, doesn’t require laboratory test monitoring, and can’t be used in some nefarious way, why do we require a prescription?” Makary said during an appearance on Fox & Friends Weekend. “Most of the world does not do that.”
