Washington, DC (August 25, 2023) — APhA appreciates FDA’s one-year delay for supply chain trading partners to comply with the final enhanced drug distribution security requirements under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DCSCA) that were scheduled to take effect on November 27, 2023.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Aug. 17, 2023) – A group of pharmacy organizations backing Oklahoma’s right to curb the abusive behaviors of pharmacy benefit managers blasted a decision of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals allowing PBMs to escape certain state regulation by hiding behind the alleged preemption of that law by federal ERISA and Medicare Part D laws. 

APhA is saddened by the incalculable losses in Lahaina, Hawaii as the result of wildfires. While it remains too early to evaluate the full extent of the loss, pharmacy has been directly impacted.
