What changed in the last 90 days

Every detected change for lidocaine 5%, newest first — price moves, shortages, recalls, and manufacturers entering or leaving. Detected by comparing each day’s federal data against the day before.

Same drug class

Other molecules FDA puts in Amide Local Anesthetic, with whether each is in shortage right now. Same class is not the same drug — substitution is a clinical decision, and this is a supply picture, not a recommendation.
