Buchanan Shareholder William A. Garvin Quoted in Bloomberg BNA Article on FDA’s Combo Products Report

A recent Food and Drug Administration report identifies a number of areas where the FDA could improve its combination product review process, according to a Bloomberg BNA article.

Buchanan FDA Shareholder William A.
