ⓘ How this was built
- FDA NDC Directory (openFDA), read daily — package listings, marketing category, labeler
- DailyMed SPL establishment roles + name patterns → derived.labeler_kinds (repackager classification)
Marketed package NDCs are listings for this exact FDA generic-name string (and dosage form, when one is selected) that are in the current directory file and are finished products — bulk ingredients, export-only and further-processing listings are excluded and counted separately. Makers are distinct labeler names seen in the last 30 days minus classified repackagers/relabelers; a listing is not proof of shipping volume. To check: search the generic name in FDA's NDC Directory and count labelers.

What changed in the last 90 days
Every detected change for zidovudine, newest first — price moves, shortages, recalls, and labelers entering or leaving. Detected by comparing each day’s federal data against what we already held.
ⓘ How this was built
- DrugDashboards change feed — daily diffs of the NDC Directory, NADAC, FDA shortages and enforcement reports, Part D formularies
Events whose NDC belongs to a product with this generic-name string, dated by the day the change was detected (the file's own effective date is shown on price rows). Generic NADAC is a 3-month moving average since December 2024, so most price moves here are small and lag the market.

Same drug class
Other molecules FDA puts in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Nucleoside Analog Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor, 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.
ⓘ How this was built
- FDA NDC Directory pharmacologic class (EPC) per product
- FDA drug shortages (openFDA)
- FDA NDC Directory labelers + derived.labeler_kinds
Peers share this drug's most common Established Pharmacologic Class. 'In shortage' means an FDA Current row whose NDC belongs to that molecule or whose listing name normalizes to it (any presentation). Maker counts are labelers active in the last 30 days minus repackagers, across all forms.

Common questions
- Is Zidovudine in shortage right now?
- No. FDA's shortage list has no current entry for Zidovudine under this name or its presentations. This page is rebuilt every morning from FDA's shortage database, so a new posting appears here the day it is published.
- Who makes Zidovudine?
- 10 companies have listed Zidovudine in the FDA NDC Directory in the last 30 days, not counting 1 repackager that relist other makers' products. A listing is not proof of volume; the products below show every listed package.
- What does Zidovudine cost?
- The typical pharmacy pays about $0.4638 per unit for generic Zidovudine — the median of 1 package NDCs' latest CMS NADAC prices (last 6 months, unit-priced products only). That is what the pharmacy pays for the drug itself — not the cash price, and not what an insurer is billed.

Shortage: any Current FDA row whose package NDC belongs to this generic-name string or whose listing name normalizes to the same molecule; the presentations named are those rows. Makers: distinct labelers listing this string in the last 30 days, repackagers excluded. Cost: the median of each NDC's most recent NADAC within 6 months, restricted to the market's most common billing unit and to the generic cohort when one exists.

Finished products currently in the NDC Directory under this generic-name string (bulk, export-only and further-processing listings excluded). 'Widely marketed' marks the four form/strength/package combinations with the most NADAC-priced NDCs — a proxy for retail availability, not dispensing volume. Labeler counts in the tree include repackagers, marked in the roster on each drug page.
