We’ve Followed The US Albuterol Shortages For Sixteen Years…


This problem has flared on and off for as long as we've been following the SGP saga -- now over 16 years.

With generic availability in 2008, selling prices cratered. . . and several manufacturers just ceased production altogether. It is expected that by mid 2024, a new US sourced generic will come online, but until then. . . this will be a pinch point / kink in the system:

. . .Albuterol is amid a federally declared shortage, according to the Food and Drug Administration. One of the drug’s major suppliers estimates it won’t have enough product until at least July, while another has no timeline listed, according to the FDA’s website. . . .

After the bankruptcy of Akorn in 2022, and the closure of its Illinois facility, the forecast is for stockoits through 2024. . . .


Now you know -- and it looks like Marquette may get a top four seed next weekend. Grin. . . . .
