28 generic drugs hit FDA's shortage list for the first time in 2020, and experts linked most of the newly added meds to the coronavirus pandemic.
When Dr. Jeremy Faust ordered medications for a coronavirus patient he planned to put on a mechanical ventilator several weeks ago, he saw warning messages pop up on his computer.
USA TODAY’s review shows that even as daily new cases of coronavirus declined nationally in May, more generics hit the FDA’s list: 11 for the month. “We're seeing a mental health pandemic that's not going to go away,” said Charles Nemeroff, professor and chair of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Texas at Austin’s Dell Medical School.A USA TODAY analysis found 28 generics in 405 dosages hit the Food and Drug Administration's list of drugs in shortage from January through May.
Choo said the ideal situation is to use “first-line” medications – those that are considered more effective and have fewer side effects. But in early May, even when faced with a relatively low volume of COVID-19 patients in Portland, Choo said doctors were making adjustments because of shortages. Even as the April wave of hospitalizations has ebbed in some hard-hit cities, the shortage of key drugs has lingering effects.Dan Kistner, group senior vice president for the health services company, Vizient, said drugs needed for ventilators are also the ones commonly used in elective surgeries.
Six anesthesia drugs, including four sedatives and two muscle relaxants, hit the FDA’s drug shortage database since April 2 due to skyrocketing demand. The list of new drugs in shortage includes two cardiovascular and renal drugs used for COVID-19 patients with underlying heart diseases or needing dialysis while using ventilators.
Criticism of the French study’s methodology has followed, and experts have warned about side effects. But the FDA reported a lack of hydroxychloroquine on March 31 as demand increased rapidly. Two weeks later, azithromycin was added to the shortage list, followed by famotidine.
