According to VOX, the reason for the shortages could be either due a lack of raw materials or a problem at the manufacturing plant.
The following drugs and medications might be more difficult to find on shelves this year, according to the FDA:
- Albuterol Sulfate Inhalational Solution: Caused by a high-demand for the drug at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, VOX says.
- Amoxicillin (Oral Powder for Suspension)
- Epinephrine Injection, (Auto-Injector and , 0.1 mg/mL)
- Tamiflu: There may be localized shortages as demand is especially high, but there is no official Tamiflu shortage, ABC News reports.
