The National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) released the following statement by NACDS President and CEO Steven C. Anderson, IOM, CAE, on the Dextromethorphan Abuse Reduction Act of 2007, introduced by Senator Joseph R. Biden, Jr. (D-DE).
"The abuse of DXM - especially by teenagers - is a serious concern, and our industry is committed to doing its part to combat this problem. This bill is a product of Senator Biden's out-front leadership and dedication, and NACDS is pleased to play a role in the development of a legislative solution. We will continue working closely with Senator Biden and his colleagues as the Dextromethorphan Abuse Reduction Act moves forward in Congress.
"Many in our industry have already taken voluntary steps to restrict the sale of products containing DXM to underage teens. Through increased prevention, awareness, and law enforcement, we can achieve the goal of stopping DXM abuse, while ensuring that safe and effective medicines valued by consumers remain readily available for legitimate use."
