United States Pharmacopeia Expands Vulnerable Drug List Amid Supply Chain Concerns

United States Pharmacopeia Expands Vulnerable Drug List Amid Supply Chain Concerns

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) has updated its list of drugs vulnerable to supply chain disruptions, adding medications such as Tamiflu and Trulicity. This update follows an expanded risk assessment that now includes key starting materials (KSMs), which are essential for producing active pharmaceutical ingredients. The USP's analysis revealed that 48 of the 100 vulnerable drugs rely on KSMs sourced from a single country, highlighting potential supply chain risks. Notably, 41% of KSMs for U.S.-approved active pharmaceutical ingredients are sourced solely from China, while 16% come from India. The USP's findings indicate that despite stable finished product availability, these drugs have a single upstream point of failure, making them susceptible to supply disruptions.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has implemented a ban on foreign-made Wi-Fi routers, sparking concerns about the future availability of popular router brands in the U.S. market. According to a report by Speedtest.net, which analyzed user-submitted data, the ban could significantly impact several top router brands based on their popularity in the U.S. The report highlights that TP-Link, a Chinese-affiliated brand, is the second most popular, with Amazon-owned Eero leading the market. The ban is part of a broader effort to mitigate potential security risks associated with foreign-made technology.
