AI Summary
This bill, called the Protecting Americans from Dangerous Opioids Act, requires the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to revoke the approval of one opioid pain medication for each new opioid pain medication it approves. The bill aims to address the opioid crisis in the United States, where overdose deaths have quadrupled since 1999 despite an increase in opioid prescriptions. The bill prioritizes the revocation of non-abuse deterrent formulations of opioid drugs and considers the public health impact of the opioid drug being on the market when determining which approval to revoke.
