24 Prognosis of Drug Shortage The condition is serious caused by multiple factors the greatest of which is economic. Low profitability on generic manufactured drugs will to discourage production. Pressure or enticement to ensure adequate drug supply is necessary

25 Solutions(Or why it isn’t as bad as it seems)  Drugs from India: Doxil  Legislation: FDA Safety and Innovation Act  Robust options for treatment  Health-care professionals have been sharing resources and supplies of various drugs including those used in chemotherapy treatment  Gray Market/Stockpiling fraud control  Obligation by Pharma to produce drugs at reduced margins
