Common questions
- Is Ergocalciferol in shortage right now?

- Who makes Ergocalciferol?
- 24 companies have marketed Ergocalciferol in the last 30 days, according to the FDA NDC Directory. Every manufacturer and package is listed on this page.
- What does Ergocalciferol cost?
- The typical pharmacy pays about $0.1136 per unit, based on the most recent CMS NADAC survey of actual acquisition costs. That is what the pharmacy pays for the drug itself — not the cash price, and not what an insurer is billed.
