FDA: Coronavirus ‘outbreak could impact the medical supply chain’ resulting in drug shortages
A worsening coronavirus outbreak reportedly could threaten shortages of about 150 prescription drugs, several of them with no alternatives.
China’s role in supplying the ingredients used in medications means that decreased Chinese production capability amid the outbreaks could threaten supplies of the drugs, which include antibiotics, generics, and branded drugs, two sources familiar with a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) list of at-risk drugs told Axios.
The FDA did not directly comment on the list but said it was “keenly aware that the outbreak could impact the medical product supply chain” and is working to identify potential vulnerabilities connected with it, according to Axios.
The agency is also coordinating with other regulators such as the European Medicines Agency, and said that while no FDA-approved vaccines, blood derivatives or gene-therapies, it is monitoring any raw materials for such products manufactured in China and other southeastern Asian nations.
“If a potential shortage or disruption of medical products is identified by the FDA, we will use all available tools to react swiftly and mitigate the impact to U.S. patients and health care professionals,” an FDA spokesperson told Axios.
The Trump administration has assembled a task force to respond to the coronavirus, but FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn is not among its appointees.

IT WOULD BE GOOD NEWS – IF MOST ….. PRESCRIPTION DRUGS – GOT BLOCKED IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN
This Is A Clip From A Peer Reviewed Medical Journal Published Article – LINK AT BOTTOM
………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Our prescription drugs >>>>> are the third leading …. cause of death
- after heart disease and cancer in the United States …… and Europe.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Around half of those who die >>>>> have taken their drugs correctly;
- the other half die because of errors, such as prescribed …..too high a dose
- or prescribed a drug …… despite contraindications.
Our drug agencies are not particularly helpful, as they rely ….on fake fixes, ….which are a long list of warnings, precautions, and contraindications for each drug,
- although they know that no doctor can possibly master all of these.
Major reasons for the many drug deaths are …….impotent drug regulation,
- widespread crime
that includes corruption of the scientific evidence….. about drugs
- and bribery of doctors,
- and lies in drug marketing, which is as harmful as tobacco marketing and, therefore, should be banned.
We should take far fewer drugs,
- and patients should carefully study……. the package inserts of the drugs ….their doctors prescribe for them
and independent information sources about drugs such as Cochrane reviews,
>>>>which will make it easier for them to say “no thanks”.
UNQUOTE !!
SO REMEMBER >>>>> prescription drugs >>>>> are the third leading …. cause of death
