Drug Shortage Index FAQ

How should healthcare teams use these shortage pages?

Use the shortage pages to identify product families with public shortage context, then open the exact NDC product page for package-level product details and supporting references.

Do these pages show current market availability?

No. Public shortage information can lag behind current market conditions. Teams should confirm current availability directly with FDA, manufacturers, distributors, and internal procurement workflows.

Why are some shortage pages grouped by generic drug name?

Grouping by generic drug name helps researchers compare related shortage-bearing NDC presentations without losing the exact product pages that carry the package-level context.
