Join panels of key government regulators and industry experts to explore current issues surrounding the DQSA’s Title I (Compounding Quality Act) and II (Drug Supply Chain Security Act) – four years after implementation. Title I has had a significant impact in compounding pharmaceutical products by outsourcing facilities and traditional pharmacies. Review the changes in the law, FDA’s current guidance, regulatory responses and related state actions involving compounding. Title II has and will continue to have a significant impact on drug manufacturers, wholesalers and pharmacies, especially as they implement the next phases of the DSCSA and await additional FDA guidance.
