Hello Can you please change my E-mail to icucool@xxxxxxxxxxx Thanks Mohammad Ikbal Harb ________________________________ From: "Head, John" <John_Head@xxxxxxxx> To: optimal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, February 6, 2012 8:08 PM Subject: [optimal] manufacture of fluorescein Hi all, Thought I would share this… A representative of a Fluorescein manufacturer came by our site with some news about an action taken by the FDA. I won’t summarize much, but here is a link to the FDA website. http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/EnforcementActivitiesbyFDA/SelectedEnforcementActionsonUnapprovedDrugs/ucm280534.htm apparently the FDA is looking closely at a couple manufacturers, and the FDA have asked that they stop production, until further notice. I have been told that Akorn, one of the manufacturers still approved, have increased production, and will try to limit any possible shortages. Best Regards, John Head, CRA
