Same drug class

Other molecules FDA puts in Interferon beta, 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.

Common questions

Is Interferon beta-1a in shortage right now?
No. FDA does not currently list Interferon beta-1a in shortage. This page is rebuilt every morning from FDA's shortage database, so a new posting appears here the day it is published.
Who makes Interferon beta-1a?
2 companies have marketed Interferon beta-1a in the last 30 days, according to the FDA NDC Directory. That is a thin market — if one stops making it, supply is at risk quickly. Every manufacturer and package is listed on this page.
What does Interferon beta-1a cost?
The typical pharmacy pays about $8,807.61 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.
