54% of meds at 'high risk,' military says

More than half of pharmaceuticals in the United States have a dependency on manufacturers not compliant to the Trade Agreements Act, which the Department of Defense defines as high- and very high-risk medications.

Twenty-seven percent of NDCs are sourced from high risk areas, or non-TAA compliant suppliers, and 27% are from very high-risk sources, or complete dependence on manufacturers in China and unknown countries.
