Why you should Attend: Why attend? The major reason for small pharmaceutical companies to enter into a recall situation is the poor quality of raw materials and active ingredients.

Currently, we face issues with generic drug supplies where carcinogens appear in our blood pressure medications, affecting millions of us.

Compounding pharmacies, generic firms, and small pharmaceutical companies struggle with adequate and compliant supply chain. In addition, many firms suffer from the criminal suppliers. Both MCA and FDA warn firms about the potential use.
