The short version

Only one company currently supplies this market — there is no backup if it stumbles. The price has jumped 35% in a year, to $0.0296 per mL — sharp rises like this often mean supply is already tightening. Historically, drugs in this position went on to a new shortage within 90 days about 0.3% of the time — roughly 2× the typical drug (0.1%).
