#3 It's worse. Imagine a shortage of a drug that comes from two vendors --say vendor A has a manufacturing issue. No problem, just have vendor B produce more, right?
Not so fast, chum, the FDA won't let that happen. Not only do you have to make the drugs in an FDA-approved way, but you can turn out pills ONLY at a prescribed rate. If you want to make more of a drug (to alleviate a shortage) you first have to get FDA permission.
Which almost never happens.

#4 What is the justification for prescribed rates?
It sounds anti-capitalism.

#6 It's not just prescription drugs. Try finding a Tylenol lately? An Excedrin?

#7 WM the "excuse" is that they have to monitor / control drug protection to gaurd against prescription fraud. Big noise about pill farms writing oxy prescriptions in mass.

#8 It's also because the current powers-that-be in the FDA view excess production as something that drives prices up.
I'm not kidding.

#9 As someone who greatly values drugs for medicinal purposes, Obama's FDA is a disaster. The banning of Proproxy was a un-mitigated PAIN.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
