Common questions
- Is Codeine sulfate in shortage right now?
- No. FDA does not currently list Codeine 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 Codeine sulfate?
- 3 companies have marketed Codeine 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.
- What does Codeine sulfate cost?
- The typical pharmacy pays about $0.6951 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.
