what is the drug shortage list

The drug shortage list is the FDA’s official list of medications currently in shortage, based on manufacturer reports and FDA review. It shows which drugs are affected, when the shortage began, and status updates; many teams also monitor FDA Drug Shortages alongside ASHP notices and wholesaler availability for purchasing decisions.
