via As lawmakers, biopharma companies and others try to stabilize vulnerable pharma supply chains, drug shortages have become about as bad as they’ve ever been in the U.S.

That’s according to the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), which has released new data showing there were 323 drugs in shortage in the U.S. as of 2024’s first quarter—the highest number recorded since ASHP began tracking shortage data back in 2001.
