Common questions
- Is Hypromellose in shortage right now?
- No. FDA does not currently list Hypromellose 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 Hypromellose?
- 3 companies have marketed Hypromellose 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 Hypromellose cost?
- The typical pharmacy pays about $0.9037 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.
