Whole Categories of Drugs Not Available in the U.S. Due to Export Bans?
"In the COVID-19 era, this [drug supply disruptions] could include unexpected political moves such as export bans -- such as those recently put in place in India and the United Kingdom -- which could mean that 'we could find whole categories of drugs not available in the U.S., and we don't have the capacity to replace that supply, in the short run at least'". That's according to Stephen Schondelmeyer, PharmD, PhD, and co-principal investigator of the Resilient Drug Supply Project at the University of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy.
… "[w]ith the current 'just in time' manufacturing system, 'inventories may only last a month' before supplies dry up."
Dr. Schondelmeyer also told MedPage Today that, "[w]ith the current 'just in time' manufacturing system, 'inventories may only last a month' before supplies dry up."
However, our NorthWestPharmacy.com newsletter has been keeping you one step ahead of export bans, including the latest pharmaceutical export ban announced by Canada.
Drug suppliers surveyed in a recent white paper advise that, "the supply chain will be extremely vulnerable in the upcoming months of the pandemic" while the American Medical Association has declared it an urgent public health crisis and "a matter of national security". Reports of shortages are being issued all over the world -- from the United States, Canada, UK, South Africa to New Zealand and beyond -- as the prices of raw materials for pharmaceuticals have been skyrocketing, foreshadowing an increase in drug prices.
