What buyers can do
- Check whether other registered presentations or strengths can be used, and ask your wholesaler about allocation.
- For hospital and tender supply, look for manufacturers that already hold an approval in your market and can increase output.
- In a critical shortage, the FDA can allow temporary importation of a version approved in a well-regulated market. That decision is made by the FDA, case by case.
- Qualify any new source as carefully as at any other time: GMP certificate, registration status and a certificate of analysis for each batch.
