Welcome to our web site!
Locating pharmaceuticals in short supply can be a huge drain on your pharmacy or
facility's staff time. We have developed this website to keep the healthcare community abreast of current drug shortages in
the U.S. using information provided to us from the FDA, ASHP and our own local wholesale vendors.
Managing drug inventories has become particularly complex for healthcare facilities because of the large number
of monotherapies and monoproducts available. Drug shortages can delay and compromise patient care and increase total cost,
including those of choosing alternative therapies, delivery devices, and staff training. At DrugShorts.com, we hope to keep
you aware of current problem medications, the reasons, and expected resolution dates, and hopefully, provide you with a limited
supply of some of these medications to hold you until your primary vendor is able to replenish their stock. We realize that
this will not always be possible. For instance, your wholesaler may be out of a particular drug, so you check with us. Sure
enough, the drug is on the list of shorts on our site, so you contact us and we may have some that we can sell to you.
You will need to set up an account to do so. However, this very same drug may be gone and unavailable by the time you
finish reading this. You will want to contact us as soon as you possibly can to check availability.
The "just-in-time" approach to procurement and inventory management among manufacturers, distributors, & end users
has led to the reduced ability of the supply chain to provide adequate drug product availability during disruptions.
Many end-user health care organizations have reduced inventories to the point that they depend on daily replenishment. Inventories
no longer provide an adequate buffer, and a temporary backorder quickly becomes a critical drug shortage for the end-user.
We hope to help you in this situation, so that you can get back to your job of providing healthcare to your patients.
All products shipped from our wholesale inventory will be sent with pedigree paperwork back to the manufacturer or Authorized
Distributor. We are a licensed wholesaler. We are a small independent pharmacist owned business. We love to
help whenever we can, so if you have a special need or a medication you cannot find, please leave us a message or contact
us by e-mail and we will do our best to obtain whatever we can for you.
