On April 23, Philip Schneider, University of Arizona College of Pharmacy professor, Ronald P. Jordan, Chapman University School of Pharmacy Dean and Joseph J. Bova, Director of Continuing Education at the Long Island University College of Pharmacy, sent a letter to Stephen Ostroff, M.D, Acting Commissioner of Food and Drug, on their concerns on biosimilar labeling. Jordan is former president of the American Pharmacist Association (APhA) and Schneider is a former president of the American Society of Health System Pharmacists (ASHP) and together the three pharmacists urged the FDA to consider a requirement for more informative labeling of biosimilars.
