Drug shortages must be reported six months in advance

Our Take

Drug shortages are no joke, and the FDA is not backing when when it comes to managing issues surrounding them. 

A new rule now requires all drug and biological companies who manufacture medications to notify the FDA six months before discontinuing a drug or a projected shortage. 

Shortages can create havoc, and although it has decreased over the last decade, it is still a concern.
