FDA suffers setback in pedigree suit brought by secondary wholesaler

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has affirmed the granting of a preliminary injunction by the District Court in the RxUSA et al v. FDA suit. The suit was filed by a secondary wholesaler, RxUSA, and others against the Food & Drug Administration over its requirement for drug pedigree.

Lawyers for RxUSA are preparing for discovery and trial.
