A BILL To amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to provide for notification by manufacturers of critical essential medicines of increased demand of such drugs, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Drug Shortage Prevention Act of 2023, aims to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require manufacturers of "critical essential medicines" (life-supporting, life-sustaining, or intended for treating debilitating conditions) to notify the Secretary of Health and Human Services of any permanent discontinuance, interruption, or increased demand for these drugs or their key ingredients that could lead to supply disruptions. The bill specifies the timing and content of these notifications, including details on alternative sources for drug ingredients. It also requires the Secretary to issue regulations and guidance to implement these new notification requirements within 18 months and 180 days, respectively, and to distribute information on drug supply issues to healthcare providers and patient organizations.
