Common questions
- Is Dextroamphetamine in shortage right now?
- No. FDA does not currently list Dextroamphetamine 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 Dextroamphetamine?
- 3 companies have marketed Dextroamphetamine 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 Dextroamphetamine cost?
- The typical pharmacy pays about $16.23 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.
