FDA Recall/Drug Shortage Roundup (1/29/2025)

We are on day 8 of the external communications pause from the FDA. What has been recalled? What drug shortages have been announced?

Today is day 8 of a pause on communications from federal health agencies. Drug shortages and discontinuations have been added to this daily update.

Keep in mind that the medications on this list may have multiple manufacturers producing the same medication, so it does not mean that it will be impossible to get your medication if it is listed as a discontinuation, but there may be a relative shortage. If you are struggling to find your medications, please talk with your doctor and pharmacist right away. The public can also report a drug shortage here.

Drug shortage summary

As a reminder, if the drug says it is discontinued it does not necessarily mean that it is gone completely. Many companies produce the same drugs so there may be a relative shortage though.
