According to Dirk Rodgers:

"Can President Trump, HHS Secretary Azar and Acting FDA Commissioner Sharpless eliminate/adjust/reinterpret any part of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) to allow Florida, Colorado, Vermont, Maine or any other US state or territory to import drugs from foreign markets?  Let’s take a closer look at what’s been going on recently with the idea of importing drugs from other markets in an attempt to help American citizens buy them at a lower cost."

His analysis of the situation is a worthy read.

"The Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), which is Title II of the DQSA, is the most complex pharma track and trace law ever enacted.  Its many layers of complicated rules and regulations provide challenges that companies will need to untangle.  But now, Dirk Rodgers explains it all.

"The Drug Supply Chain Security Act Explained" is a clear, section-by-section explanation of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), with important implications for companies in the U.S. supply chain, by writer and founder of RxTrace.com, Dirk Rodgers, an expert in healthcare supply chain technologies.

"The Drug Supply Chain Security Act Explained" will guide readers through the process of complying with the DSCSA.  It includes thousands of hyperlinks to the definitions of terms and other sections within the DSCSA as well as to the original DSCSA text. It also includes pages of references to external material.  An abbreviated version of the Table of Contents is below."
