Merck Knew of Parkinson’s Drug Shortage in 2009, but Only Now Blames the FDA A worldwide shortage of Sinemet, a Parkinson’s Disease drug, entered its third calendar year without Merck (MRK) explaining why its supply of the drug was been disrupted. The company did, however, blame the FDA in addition to its own suppliers for the Sinemet drought, which reached the U.S. in January. Today, the company reported to the FDA it had resolved the shortage without explaining what caused it. http://www.bnet.com/blog/drug-busine...s-the-fda/7474

Well, when a drug changes distributor, a new NDC is given, and often that results in a short distribution delay.
Since BMS is no longer going to be the parent, then this has to be done. I am wondering about the Chinese connection. China has shown it is unreliable in many safety areas already. This problem sort of reeks of that potential. In the recent past, some of the medical errors coming out of China have resulted in deaths, some children. In fact, the their drug overseer was executed for this. (a drastic punishment!) Reports of China still poisoning their own children with melamine added to milk, continue to appear!
