Senator introduces safe drug manufacturing bill

US Senator, Michael Bennet, has introduced a bill, the US Drug Safety and Accountability Act of 2010, which aims to strengthen manufacturing quality standards, enhance the US FDA’s ability to track foreign manufacturing sites, and increase the authority of FDA to make drug product recalls. Socma welcomed the introduction of the bill and thanked the Senator for "introducing this common sense legislation which will strengthen the FDA and increase public health and safety by providing additional quality controls on drugs and their ingredients."

It's good that a safe drug manufacturing bill is being introduced by a US Senator. It's necessary to implement such bill to improve manufacturing quality standards for both small and large production run companies. In addition, this will effectively monitor drugs or medicines which are produced by non-custom manufacturing plants, thus protecting public health and safety. Besides, product sourcing will turn out to be fine, knowing that there's regulation on the processes involved.
