2 Congressman from Indiana (home of Eli Lilly) sponsored legislation to place strong limits on access to compounded GLP-1 medications.

The federal SAFE Drugs Act refers to a piece of proposed U.S. legislation introduced in Congress in December 2025 known as the “Safeguarding Americans from Fraudulent and Experimental (SAFE) Drugs Act of 2025.” It is not yet law, but it represents a legislative effort focused on tightening the safety and oversight of certain drug practices.
Here’s the essence of what it’s about:
This bill, introduced by Representatives Rudy Yakym and André Carson, aims to protect patients from unsafe compounded medications. Compound drugs are those created by pharmacies to meet the specific needs of individual patients — say a liquid form for someone who can’t swallow pills — but some compounded products have been mass-produced and distributed in ways that bypass the standard Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval process. According to the sponsors and supporters, that can expose patients to untested and potentially hazardous medications.
The SAFE Drugs Act would likely:
- Increase FDA oversight and reporting requirements for compounded drugs so that regulators have better visibility into what is being made and where it’s going.
- Raise safety standards to reduce the likelihood that unapproved or unsafe compounded medications reach patients.
- Restore transparency and accountability in that segment of the drug supply chain that has grown rapidly without uniform federal controls.
In simple terms, the bill’s core goal is to make sure that when a drug is created outside the usual FDA approval pathways — especially at scale — there are stronger safeguards so Americans aren’t exposed to fraudulent or experimental medications without proper testing and oversight.
Because it’s newly introduced and still under committee review, details could evolve as it moves through Congress or if amendments are added.
