Common questions
- Is Penciclovir in shortage right now?
- No. FDA does not currently list Penciclovir 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 Penciclovir?
- 10 companies have marketed Penciclovir in the last 30 days, according to the FDA NDC Directory. Every manufacturer and package is listed on this page.
- What does Penciclovir cost?
- The typical pharmacy pays about $50.08 per gram, 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.
