🔊 Running through the latest batch of National Priority Voucher recipients with Dr. Mundkur. More to come!
Here’s one reason for our healthcare crisis: prices are too high.
Beautiful teamwork. We’re rewarding companies that bring pharmaceutical manufacturing back to the U.S., address public health needs in new ways, and lower prices for Americans.
FDA has awarded 6 additional National Priority Vouchers. The latest recipients tackle major health challenges: HER2 lung cancer, drug-resistant TB in children, rectal cancer, sickle cell disease, and obesity. When companies commit to accessibility and national priorities, we commit to speed. fda.gov/news-events/press-an…

One year ago today, the American people voted to take back their health. Under President Trump’s leadership, @HHSgov is delivering historic MAHA WINS — real science, real food, and real change. The movement to Make America Healthy Again is just getting started. 🇺🇸
A quick FDA Direct conversation today! Biologic drugs are incredible, but they’re expensive – and they account for 51% of all drug spending. How can we bring cheaper alternatives to market?
Generics have saved Americans trillions of dollars, in part because their streamlined development process facilitates competition. Now, we’re bringing the same level of competition to expensive biologic drugs.
We are eliminating animal testing requirements stepwise and carefully. We like to get things done.
Biologics are 5% of prescriptions — but 51% of drug spending. @US_FDA is going to accelerate biosimilar alternatives to make these amazing medicines more affordable for Americans.
When you live paycheck to paycheck, a high copay for an expensive drug can be devastating. We are dramatically lowering drug prices.
If you like healthcare’s middlemen and paying more for drugs, our drug pricing reforms are not for you!
Drugs that serve key national priorities ➡️ front of the line at @US_FDA.
Going through infertility treatments can be hard enough without the financial toxicity. We are dramatically lowering the price of infertility medications for American families.
For the first time ever, drug companies are coming to the table with massive, meaningful price reductions for the American people.
It’s amusing when reporters and writers do not have access to FDA information on manufacturing and sterility violations — yet make calls from the peanut gallery.
We all want the same thing: more cures and meaningful treatments, and the advancement of America’s national priorities.
We don’t talk enough about how insulin resistance – often caused by our modern diets – contributes to infertility.
Approximately 1 in 8 American couples struggle with infertility. In collaboration with ⁦⁦@CMSGov⁩, we are taking action to dramatically reduce the price of IVF medications and expand access.

FDA will be proactive in advancing decisions on medicines serving a key national priority: affordability, domestic production, or meeting an unmet public health need.
