When the U.S. 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. tinyurl.com/2jew8hsb

CVS, which outsources production to foreign companies for its store-brand drugs is “responsible for the drugs made by the contract facility,” per U.S. FDA. That's created a concerning gap in oversight of everyday medicines Americans take to save money. 🔗 tinyurl.com/5y2yn4jr

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. tinyurl.com/2udjebzc
