The short version

18 companies supply this market — deep enough that no single failure threatens the supply. The price has held steady around $0.3634 per mL over the past year. It is in shortage right now — FDA lists the reason as “demand increase for the drug”. Put together: worth watching — several of the pressures that precede supply trouble are present at once.

The numbers behind every sentence are on this page below — and the Watch button emails you when any of them move.

One drug, every price

The same NDC has different prices depending on who is paying. Units differ between rungs — compare within a rung over time, not rung against rung, unless the units match.

ⓘ How this was built
Data sources
  • CMS NADAC (pharmacy acquisition, weekly)
  • CMS Part B ASP quarterly payment limits
  • CMS Maximum Fair Prices (IRA negotiated, NDC-level)
  • Medicare Part D Spending by Drug (data.cms.gov, name-matched)
  • VA FSS / Big4 federal contract prices (va.gov, twice monthly)
  • ACA Federal Upper Limits + weighted AMP (data.medicaid.gov, monthly)
  • California SB-17 WAC filings (list price, per package)
Method

Each rung is the newest figure for this NDC from one federal price system, shown with its own unit. Part D is matched by drug name because CMS publishes no NDCs there; it is gross spending, before confidential rebates.

Medicare Part D

No Medicare Part D plan in CMS's quarterly files lists this product. That usually means it is discontinued, a repackager's listing, or a product no plan has added to its formulary.

Supply fragility

33● Elevated risk

The score is counting real pressure here. One of these alone is routine; it’s the combination that makes this market worth watching.

  • related presentation in shortage+15
  • Class I/II recall on same molecule/form in past 12 months+8
  • sterile injectable+10

The score counts pressure that is already visible — fewer makers, shortages, recalls, falling prices. 0 means none of it; 100 means all of it at once. Recomputed daily · as of Sep 3, 2026

90-day shortage risk (model v2)

0.6%chance of a new FDA shortage posting for lidocaine hydrochloride (injectable) in the next 90 days

sterile injectable · 4 Class I/II recall(s) in 12 months · OAI inspection at a producing facility (24 months)

For scale: the typical drug’s chance is about 0.1% — this one is 4× that.
