What, if anything, can consumers do to change the law?

A: While Pliva, Inc. v. Mensing is currently the law of the land, the U.S. Congress and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) still retain the authority to change the laws and regulations regarding prescription drugs. Undoubtedly, the U.S. Supreme Court dealt a vicious blow to consumers of generic drugs with its recent opinion. To prevent this outrageous injustice, consumers need to start speaking up and taking a stand for their rights. By sending letters to your congressmen, you can let them know that you think generic drug manufacturers should be held accountable for failing to warn patients of the risks of taking their drugs. If your congressmen won't listen, another way to effectuate change is to vote them out of office the next time they come up for reelection.
