Updates  Your dog or cat is sick, and you head to the animal hospital. The veterinarian prescribes medications that you hope will make your pet better. But with pets, as with people, medication errors can happen. It's important to safeguard your food, water, medicine and pets before, during and after any severe weather event.  When gale-force winds start blowing and torrential rains raise water levels, you need to be ready. Power outages mean refrigerated food and medicine supplies may spoil. Floods may contaminate tap water and emergency supplies not stored properly with sewage, chemicals, heavy metals, pathogenic microorganisms, or other contaminants. If the storm or flood is severe enough, you may need to evacuate with little time to prepare. Don't put off being prepared until the emergency hits. Stakeholder Call - COVID-19 Vaccine for Adolescents Join Acting FDA Commissioner, Janet Woodcock, M.D. and Director, FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., as they discuss the COVID-19 vaccine for adolescents. Guidance Documents - Request for Comments The FDA is announcing the availability of a final guidance for industry entitled "Q12 Technical and Regulatory Considerations for Pharmaceutical Product Lifecycle Management." The guidance was prepared under the auspices of the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH), formerly the International Conference on Harmonisation. The guidance, which consists of a Guidance and Annexes, provides a framework to facilitate the management of postapproval chemistry, manufacturing, and controls changes for new and marketed pharmaceutical drug substances and drug products, including chemical and biotechnological/biological products. This guidance finalizes the draft guidance of the same title issued on May 31, 2018. On May 11, 2021, the FDA published the guidance for industry entitled "M9 Biopharmaceutics Classification System-Based Biowaivers," a draft of which was issued in October 2018. The guidance provides recommendations to support the biopharmaceutics classification of drug substances and the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS)-based waiver of the in vivo bioequivalence study requirement for drug products.
