Drug shortages are growing in the United States, and experts see no clear path to resolving them.
Shortages of drugs like Adderall are growing in the United States, and experts see no clear path to resolving them. For patients, that can mean treatment delays, medication switches and other hassles filling a prescription.
In the fall, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced a shortage of the attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder treatment Adderall due to a manufacturing problem. That has persisted and grown at times to include other stimulants that treat the condition. Last year, a spike in respiratory illnesses forced drugstore chains to temporarily limit purchases of fever-reducing medicines for children. A shortage of the antibiotic amoxicillin also cropped up around then.
“They’ve been having a run on Ozempic because people don’t want to spend that much on Wegovy,” Schondelmeyer said. Doctors are sometimes forced to prescribe alternatives that might not be as effective. That also can lead to medication errors if the doctor is less familiar with the other medication.

For patients, that could mean more treatment delays, medication switches and other hassles filling a prescription. That depends on the drug, some of which manufacturers have little incentive to make in large amounts because they generate thin profits. Unexpected demand spikes, manufacturing problems and tight ingredient supplies have contributed in recent months to shortages that stress patients, parents and doctors.
