Drug Shortages: Extending Supply from Specialized Pharmacies

GAP Supply Act

Legislative Progress

Law

This bill aims to keep medicine on the shelves during national shortages. It allows specialized pharmacies that make large batches of medicine to continue producing and shipping drugs for 180 days after a shortage is first reported.
Currently, these pharmacies have very limited time to help fill the gap when a major drug manufacturer stops production. This change gives them a six-month window to provide a steady supply to hospitals and doctors' offices.
By extending this timeframe, the policy helps ensure that patients do not lose access to important treatments while the government and big companies work to fix long-term supply chain problems.
