Featured editorial work
First-party reporting applies the same source standard across medication safety, regulation, consultant-pharmacy workflow, and software buying decisions.
FDA extended selected package-level tracing and verification requirements through November 27, 2027, for dispensers owned by companies with 25 or fewer full-time licensed pharmacists or qualified pharmacy technicians. No FDA filing is required, but other DSCSA duties remain.
FDA's August 24 final guidance explains how the agency evaluates therapeutic equivalence and assigns Orange Book codes. It does not itself announce a product-specific TE-code change or create a federal substitution rule; its practical value is a better product-level handoff.
The proposed FFY 2026 survey asks states two yes-or-no questions about steps they take to include drugs dispensed to nursing-facility residents in prospective and retrospective DUR. Comments close October 20; the proposal does not change resident-level monthly drug-regimen review under 42 CFR 483.45(c).
