We agree, @JDVance.
Read more about America's dangerous dependence on foreign manufacturers — particularly in China and India — for generic drugs that account for 91% of all U.S. prescriptions.

84% of voters support the @US_FDA using import bans on foreign labs like Zydus that are issued Warning Letters (multiple, in this case) for failing inspections.
The FDA's job is ensuring American patients have access to safe, high-quality medicine.

New @US_FDA Warning Letter to Aurobindo's Eugia Pharma underscores a disturbing pattern of malfeasance by the Indian drugmaker.
Aurobindo's violations of good manufacturing practices make America's medicine less safe & put patients at considerable risk.

NEW: @US_FDA hits Aurobindo's Eugia with “Official Action Indicated” designation in the wake of a failed plant inspection in India, citing 7 observations related to the failure of employees to follow procedures intended to prevent microbial contamination.

NEW: Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. @JDVance1 (R-OH) sounded the alarm on China making most of the pharmaceuticals used in the United States during a speech in his hometown of Middletown, Ohio, yesterday.

As of June, the U.S. has 232 drugs in short supply; some of them critical, some basic medications. Nearly all of them are imported generics.
The U.S. has long outsourced its generic drug-making manufacturing overseas, & the consequences can't be ignored.

America has become dangerously reliant on foreign manufacturers — particularly in China & India — for the generic drugs that account for 91% of U.S. prescriptions dispensed.
Without immediate action from Congress, the forecast could be life-threatening.

CPA's @NickIacovella examines how to secure U.S. drug supply chains & ensure patients have access to safe, quality, reliable medication.

CVS, which outsources production to foreign companies for its store-brand drugs is “responsible for the drugs made by the contract facility,” per @US_FDA.
That's created a concerning gap in oversight of everyday medicines Americans take to save money.

Foreign government subsidies and @US_FDA regulatory failures are causing the drug shortage crisis in the United States—and making it worse.
In the first three months of 2024, there were 323 active drug shortages, the highest number since 2001.

When the @US_FDA comes knocking at your drug manufacturing facility, it’s best to play along. Unfortunately for Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals, the company’s refusal to do so has resulted in a scathing production write-up from the U.S. regulator.

With legislative efforts picking up to combat a record-high number of U.S. shortages, a new report from U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) pinpoints low prices, manufacturing complexity, geographic concentration of production, & quality issues as key contributors.

U.S. dependence on imports for drugs & basic medical devices is dangerous, & @US_FDA knows it. Complaints about faulty syringes made in China date back to 2020.
The @DeptVetAffairs has taken action, recently banning the use of the dangerous syringes.

We can only hope this high-water mark energizes efforts in Congress & federal agencies to address the broken market around what are often critical generic drugs.
America's medicine should be safe, affordable, & ALWAYS available.

America’s dangerous drug shortage crisis stems from an excessive dependence on imported pharmaceuticals, especially those produced in China and India.
And it's getting worse.
NEW Op-Ed from CPA Chief Economist @MenloFerry ⬇

🚨 ALERT: The @US_FDA said that last week, it sent warning letters to three Chinese manufacturers as well as two firms marketing and distributing unauthorized plastic syringes made in China that are not cleared by the FDA for use in the U.S.

The fallout of grievous quality issues in India – the world’s 3rd largest pharmacy & largest exporter of generics to the U.S. – is sweeping. The crisis has compelled Washington to turn to China, despite broader efforts to reduce reliance on the nation.

More of this, please.
The new NC plant will create high-performance, pre-fillable polymer & glass syringes, which help in the delivery & storage of medicines like mRNA vaccines.
Your medicines & delivery devices should be made in America.

Eugia's facility in India was recently slammed with a Form 483 listing 7 manufacturing observations. That wrist-slap was preceded in January by the unit’s facility in NJ receiving a Form 483 from a December inspection.
Welcome to "American" medicine.
