COMBATING THE OPIOID CRISIS

Energy and Commerce has been at the tip of the spear in the national fight to combat the opioid crisis. Follow along in our efforts here.

Question of the Day January 29, 2018 How does the FDA make sure "it obtains the necessary data to identify large-scale, multi-state distributors, to help focus our inspection and enforcement resources on the subset of pharmacy compounders that engage in compounding activities that merit FDA oversight if owners of these types of compounding pharmacies serve on the state board of pharmacies? What should the FDA do then?

"With respect to section 503A pharmacies, we are working with the states to obtain the necessary data to identify large-scale, multi-state distributors, to help focus our inspection and enforcement resources on the subset of pharmacy compounders that engage in compounding activities that merit FDA oversight."  quote from The Honorable Scott Gottlieb, M.D., Commissioner, Food and Drug Administration, Witness Statement, found here 

FDA has "conducted close to 500 inspections of 503A and 503B facilities between the passage of DQSA and the end of fiscal year 2017. We have observed problematic conditions during the vast majority of these inspections and have overseen more than 150 recalls of compounded drugs and issued more than 180 warning letters."
