USP Adds Tamiflu, Trulicity to Vulnerable List as Upstream Analysis Reshapes Supply Concerns
The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) has refreshed its vulnerable medicines list, adding Tamiflu (oseltamivir) and Trulicity (dulaglutide) after expanding its risk assessment to include key starting materials (KSMs). The new analysis shows 48 of the 100 flagged drugs depend on a KSM sourced from a single country, with 41% of U.S.-approved API KSMs coming solely from China and 16% from India. USP flagged these products as vulnerable because a single upstream point of failure can cause shortages, even though none are currently on the FDA shortage list. At the time of the February review, 70 of the 100 medicines were readily available.
