NBC News (11/23, Wile) reported “critical shortages of the ADHD drug” amphetamine/dextroamphetamine (Adderall) “and the antibiotic amoxicillin have left families reeling as the medicines their loved ones need become harder to find.” The article added, “Drugmakers have offered little insight into the reasons for the shortages, other than to blame surging demand.” However, “according to experts, drug companies face few repercussions for not disclosing key information about the production of these medications,” and consequently, “U.S. consumers remain at the mercy of drug companies when it comes to learning the cause of the shortages or how and when they might be resolved.”
