As a compounding pharmacist with over three decades of experience, I have firsthand knowledge of the challenges faced by healthcare providers and patients. I highlight the importance of sourcing APIs and propose that the FDA mandate drug manufacturers and repackagers to include information on APIs. I also mention specific legislative proposals, such as Chair Rogers' discussion draft and Rep. Griffith's H.R. 167, that address drug shortages. Watch this video to understand the patient safety implications and the urgent need for action.
