President Obama Issues Executive Order to Reduce Drug Shortages

November 14, 2011 By Steven Perez

In response to the increase in drug shortages over the past three years, President Obama issued an executive order on Oct. 31, 2011 that directs FDA to take the following steps to prevent and reduce drug shortages:

  • Require manufacturers to provide advance notice of manufacturing discontinuities that are likely to lead to shortages
  • Provide expedited regulatory review of new drug suppliers, manufacturing sites, and manufacturing changes, whenever it determines that expedited review would help to avoid or mitigate existing or potential drug shortages
  • Report to the Department of Justice any suspected stockpiling of drugs or the sale of drugs in short supply at exorbitant prices by distributors.

FDA sees the requirement for advance notice as crucial to managing shortages, and such notice has been instrumental in averting at least 99 drug shortages, according to the agency. Many drugs in short supply are generics, and the Generic Pharmaceutical Association issued a press release affirming its commitment to working with FDA to alleviate the problem. “Generic manufacturers have pledged to work with the FDA and healthcare providers to formalize the process for not only manufacturers, but also others in the supply chain, to proactively report drug shortages to the FDA’s drug shortage staff, as many now do voluntarily,” according to the press release.

ISO/IEC 17025 ACCREDITED

ISO/IEC 17025 is a company level accreditation based on a standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) titled “General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories”. ISO/IEC 17025 is a general umbrella term used to refer to the specific standard; the current version of this standard is ISO/IEC 17025:2017. The standard contains two main sections: management requirements (primarily related to the operation and effectiveness of the quality management system within the laboratory) and technical requirements (primarily related to the competence of staff and calibration of equipment). The standard also gives requirements related to quality management such as document control and corrective action. This standard is the basis for accreditation from an accrediting body.

ADPEN has also been inspected by the US-EPA and US-FDA multiple times with no observations.
