Paul Abramowitz warned that all drug classes are vulnerable to drug shortages, he said that "some of the most worrying shortages involve generic sterile injectable medications, including cancer chemotherapy drugs and emergency medications stored in hospital crash carts and procedural areas." Short-term shortages are caused by demand outstripping supply, but "the most severe and persistent shortages are driven by economic factors that undermine investment in manufacturing capacity, manufacturing quality, and supply chain reliability," according to a separate report from the ASHP.
