Other molecules FDA puts in Cholinergic Receptor Agonist, 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

No. FDA does not currently list Varenicline 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 Varenicline?
15 companies have marketed Varenicline in the last 30 days, according to the FDA NDC Directory. Every manufacturer and package is listed on this page.
What does Varenicline cost?
The typical pharmacy pays about $0.3503 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.
