Same drug class

Other molecules FDA puts in Dihydropyridine Calcium Channel Blocker, 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 Nifedipine in shortage right now?
No. FDA does not currently list Nifedipine 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 Nifedipine?
50 companies have marketed Nifedipine in the last 30 days, according to the FDA NDC Directory. Every manufacturer and package is listed on this page.
What does Nifedipine cost?
The typical pharmacy pays about $0.1764 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.
