Summary
The Securing America’s Medicine Cabinet Act of 2021 aims to modernize how medications are produced in the United States by transitioning from traditional "batch" manufacturing to faster, more efficient continuous manufacturing technologies. The bill directs the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to designate and fund "Centers of Excellence" at universities to research and develop these advanced production methods. For citizens, this initiative is intended to strengthen the domestic drug supply chain, reduce reliance on foreign manufacturing, and help prevent prescription drug shortages.
