Fix the iPLEDGE program

The Issue

The iPLEDGE program is the largest mandatory risk management for drugs program approved by the FDA. It is a mandatory program for people with cystic acne that invades a person’s privacy. The patients, mostly teens or young adults, are required to provide sensitive information about their sexual health in exchange for the medications. The program has many glitches and errors making it difficult to be administered by dermatologists. For this reason, the availability of acne treatment products is limited because some dermatologists are refusing to prescribe this important medication. Our petition hopes to bring light to this broken program and prompt the FDA to fix the iPLEDGE program. By signing your name you're helping fix this broken program that is invading teenagers' privacy and limiting the availability of this important medication.
