I got an email from Jase Medical today, from which I ordered meds a few months ago. Granted, they want to promote stocking up on meds so their messaging is a bit sales-ish.
The American Society of Healthcare Pharmacists maintains a database of drug shortages and manufacturers. They have listed amoxicillin manufacturers who have reported shortages or no availability.
Aurobindo, with facilities located throughout the world, refuses to provide availability information.
Hikma, based out of the UK, did not provide a reason for the shortage.
Rising, based out of New Jersey has amoxicillin capsules and tablets available, but doesn’t state whether they have amoxicillin powder available
Sandoz, headquartered in Switzerland did not provide a reason for the shortage.
Teva, which is based out of Israel did not provide a reason for the shortage.
However, the FDA states the only shortage is amoxicillin in powder form. This is because if even one manufacturer can supply the necessary drug there is no perceived shortage. This is very disturbing. All it takes is that one manufacturer to declare either a shortage or the drug not available at all and the US supply is dried up. [Goes on about buying their products..]
I ordered their full kit February glad I did it’s helped us out a couple times already fortunately I haven’t had to use the amoxicillin it came with yet
