Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb recently spoke on CBS News&#8217; Face the Nation, warning that the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act will only exacerbate this problem.<\/p>\n<h3>The Inflation Reduction Act Caps Drug Prices<\/h3>\n<p>Gottlieb <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-taking-regeneron-drug-remdesivir-therapy-for-coronavirus-diagnosis-ex-wh-doctor-explains\/\" title=\"Trump taking Regeneron drug, Remdesivir therapy for coronavirus diagnosis: ex-WH doctor explains\">explained<\/a> that the Inflation Reduction Act will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ex-fda-commissioner-pins-drug-shortage-on-inflation-reduction-act\/\" title=\"Ex-FDA chief blames drug shortage on Inflation Reduction Act.\">prevent generic drug manufacturers<\/a> from being able to take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/abbott-says-texas-residents-with-utility-bill-spikes-should-be-protected\/\" title=\"Abbott Says Texas Residents With Utility Bill Spikes Should Be Protected\">price increases<\/a>, even if they enter a market for the first time or spend a lot of money upgrading their facilities to comply with state-of-the-art regulations. This will result in manufacturers having to bear the costs themselves, leading to further <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/joe-biden-ends-2021-with-terrible-new-years-eve-headlines\/\" title=\"Joe Biden Ends 2021 with Terrible New Year's Eve Headlines\">drug shortages<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Inject-able Drugs are Especially Short<\/h3>\n<p>Gottlieb also explained that inject-able drugs are especially short because companies need to leave a margin to reinvest in manufacturing facilities and ensure high quality. When they don&#8217;t, things can go wrong, resulting in shortages. One example of an inject-able drug that has experienced an extreme shortage is Ozempic, a treatment for diabetes.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>The Inflation Reduction Act may have unintended consequences, including further drug shortages. It&#8217;s important for policymakers to consider the impact of legislation on critical medical needs and work to find solutions that balance affordability with access to necessary treatments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb cautioned that the Inflation Reduction Act could lead to more drug shortages.
