Common questions
- Is Barium sulfate in shortage right now?
- No. FDA does not currently list Barium sulfate 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 Barium sulfate?
- 3 companies have marketed Barium sulfate 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.
