A drugmaker’s feud with the DEA is exacerbating the ADHD meds crisis — at a rate of 600 million missing doses a year.
Lots of companies are claiming “lack of raw materials” versus capacity issues. My money is on coordinated attempts to increase generic prices
21I don't know anything and can't prove anything, but it sure is easy for me to imagine that DEA officials who would be willing to help that along by shutting down manufacturers who didn't play by this cartel's rules would make a lot of wealthy friends who would be motivated to take care of those officials somehow
