Search Reports
Below you can search for shortage and discontinuation reports that have been submitted for drug products by a company.
For more information on how to search reports, see “How to Search” section in the Website overview for public users, found in the About & Resources page.
The “Export results” button on the search reports page will create individual CSV files for shortage reports and discontinuation reports containing data from the search results. Please note that the two CSV files will be downloaded in a single .zip file. Users would then need to open the .zip file to access the CSV files.
To search by product, please refer to the Search Product page.
A public access API (application program interface) is also available to access shortage and discontinuation report data in an alternative format. Access the API here.
The export is also available for download through an extract zip file that is updated monthly. Access the Monthly Report extract here.
