Lets specialized drug facilities keep supplying medicines for 6 months after shortages end
This bill would let specialized drug facilities continue to make and send out medicines for up to 180 days after a drug is no longer officially in shortage. This change aims to prevent new shortages and help patients get the medicines they need more consistently. It would give these facilities more flexibility to keep drug supplies steady.
Today, specialized drug facilities must stop supplying a drug as soon as it's no longer officially in shortage. If this bill becomes law, these facilities could keep supplying that drug for up to 180 calendar days after the official shortage ends.
