What to say on the phone

“Do you have Rifampin Capsule 300 mg from Epic Pharma, LLC, NDC 42806-799-60? If not, can you order that one from your wholesaler?”

Generated from the manufacturers reporting availability today. Ask for a specific manufacturer — a pharmacy can sometimes order a listed product even when the shelf is empty.

What we have recorded

No status change recorded yet. We have been checking this strength daily since 2026-08-26. Every entry is dated by the day we saw it in the feed.

See every change we have recorded.

How the other strengths are supplied

The FDA lists 150 mg for this product as well, and they are not all in the same shape. One strength has a larger share of manufacturers reporting shipping than 300 mg does. Whether a different strength is appropriate for you is a question for your prescriber and pharmacist, not for us — this only shows what the feed says.

Arithmetic only: 2 × 150 mg would add up to 300 mg. Tablets are not always divisible or interchangeable, and extended-release products generally are not. Ask before assuming.

Questions

Which manufacturers currently report shipping Rifampin Capsule 300 mg?

Epic Pharma, LLC and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. report to the FDA that they are shipping Rifampin Capsule 300 mg. That is 2 manufacturers across 3 of 6 listings for this strength; Epic Pharma, LLC report they are not shipping it. A manufacturer shipping does not mean your pharmacy has it in hand.

How long has Rifampin Capsule 300 mg been listed in the FDA shortage database?

We have been recording this strength since 2026-08-26, and have not yet recorded a status change for it. Every change we record is dated by the day we saw it in the feed, not by the day it happened.

What other strengths of Rifampin are listed?

The FDA also lists 150 mg for this product. 2 × 150 mg would add up to 300 mg. Whether that substitution is appropriate for you is a question for your prescriber and pharmacist, not for us — dividing or combining doses is a clinical decision.

When did the FDA last update these listings?

The most recent manufacturer update on this strength is dated 18 Aug 2026, and the oldest is 17 Aug 2026. We checked the feed on 2026-08-26. Manufacturers update on their own schedule, so an old date means nothing has changed recently, not that the data is stale.

Does “available” mean my pharmacy has it?

No. Available means a manufacturer has told the FDA it is shipping that product nationally. Your pharmacy orders from a wholesaler, which may be out, on allocation, or simply may not stock that manufacturer. Always confirm with your pharmacist.

What is an NDC and why does it matter?

The National Drug Code identifies one product from one manufacturer in one package size. Two tablets with the same name and strength from different manufacturers have different NDCs. Naming the code removes any ambiguity about which product you are asking for.

Does the FDA ever mark a shortage “resolved”?

Rarely. 2 of the 1,623 listings we hold today carry the status “Resolved”, and we show that word when the FDA uses it. But it is not how a shortage usually ends: far more often the listing simply disappears from the database between one day's copy and the next, and we report that as no longer listed by FDA — which is exactly what we observed and no more. We never call a shortage over on our own judgement.

How current is this data?

We fetch the entire FDA shortage database once a day and compare it to the previous copy. The feed itself updates roughly every business day. The maximum age of anything shown here is 24 hours from our last check, and the check date is printed on every page.

Can you see what my local pharmacy has on the shelf?

No, and nobody can do so from public data. There is no lawful public feed of pharmacy shelf inventory. Everything here is national manufacturer reporting. This is the single biggest limitation of the site and we would rather say it plainly than imply otherwise.

What should I do when a pharmacy cannot fill my prescription?

Ask whether they can order a specific manufacturer's product, and give them the code. If they cannot, ask whether a different strength that adds up to the same dose is available, then contact your prescriber, since that substitution needs a new prescription and is their call.

Why can't my prescription be transferred to another pharmacy?

For Schedule II medications, most states do not permit transferring an unfilled prescription between pharmacies. In practice that means a new prescription sent to the new pharmacy, which is why knowing where to call before you move the script saves time.

How do you decide something changed?

We compare each day's full copy of the database against the previous one, treating every listing as a fact rather than looking it up by code. 48 package codes in today's feed appear on more than one listing, so a comparison keyed on codes alone would invent changes that never happened.

What do the status labels mean?

They are the manufacturer's own words, normalised into four buckets: available, limited, unavailable, and unknown. Unknown covers 447 listings today — 444 of them products being discontinued, which the FDA stops reporting availability for — plus any free-text note we will not guess at. Unknown never triggers an alert.

Is this medical advice?

No. This is a mirror of a public federal dataset with the dates and sources shown. Nothing here is a recommendation about your treatment. Never change how you take a medication without talking to your prescriber or pharmacist.
