Carboplatin Injection shortage
Carboplatin Injection is currently listed in shortage by the FDA. The FDA lists 35 affected products. The reported reason: Other; Discontinuation of the manufacture of the drug; Demand increase for the drug. This page was last refreshed from FDA data on Oct 3, 2026.
Carboplatin injection has been in shortage for over a year, with some vial sizes currently having no available source from any reporting maker. Several strengths are still listed as available, including 10 mg/mL concentrations in common sizes, from manufacturers not reporting a shortage.
Don’t stop or change your therapy on your own — talk with your prescriber about the plan that fits you, and ask your pharmacist what’s actually available (see options).

These rows are manufacturer reports to the FDA for Carboplatin Injection — they do not necessarily cover every manufacturer that makes this drug. A company appears here only if it told the FDA it has a supply problem, so other makers may still have stock. That’s the basis for the Where else can I get Carboplatin Injection? options further down this page.
Why is Carboplatin Injection in shortage?
Carboplatin injection is on the FDA shortage list for several overlapping reasons, depending on which manufacturer you look at. Teylo Labs (marketed through Apotex Inc.) has permanently stopped making all of its carboplatin vial sizes — the 50 mg/5 mL, 150 mg/15 mL, 450 mg/45 mL, and 600 mg/60 mL. Gland Pharma (distributed by BPI Labs) has also permanently stopped its 50 mg/5 mL vials. Accord Healthcare has some of its 10 mg/mL packages stopped permanently and others on hold due to manufacturing quality compliance issues, with no recovery date set yet. Fresenius Kabi's 10 mg/1 mL vials are held up by a shipping delay, with the next release expected in November 2026. Hospira (Pfizer) is dealing with manufacturing hold-ups across several of its vial sizes, with deliveries and recovery estimated between September 2026 and March 2027. Eugia's 450 mg/45 mL is on backorder due to higher-than-usual demand, with recovery expected in late October 2026, while their 600 mg/60 mL currently shows some availability. Gland Pharma's 150 mg/15 mL is currently available, while their 450 mg/45 mL and 600 mg/60 mL are in limited supply with recovery estimated in late Q4 2026.

What should I do if I take Carboplatin Injection?
Carboplatin injection, a chemotherapy medicine given through a vein, is currently on the FDA shortage list. Because this medicine is given in a clinic or hospital, your care team is usually the one managing supply — but it helps to understand where things stand.
Several strengths still have an available source, including 600 mg/60 mL, 150 mg/15 mL, 500 mg/50 mL, 450 mg/45 mL, 600 mg/65 mL, and the 10 mg/mL concentration. Other strengths currently have no available source, including certain multiple-dose vials (such as the 600 mg/60 mL, 450 mg/45 mL, 150 mg/15 mL, and 50 mg/5 mL multiple-dose vials) and some 50 mg/5 mL and 450 mg/45 mL presentations.
The reported reasons include manufacturing and shipping delays, higher demand, good-manufacturing-practice requirements, and some products being discontinued. Five of nine manufacturers still report supply, and recovery estimates vary widely by product, with some discontinued for good. This shortage has lasted over a year.
Here is what I suggest:
- Do not skip, delay, or change any part of your treatment on your own — talk with your oncology team first.
- If your strength still has supply, your pharmacy can check wholesalers and other manufacturers to order it.
- This same medicine is also made by other companies (Teva and Eugia), so your pharmacy may be able to source one of those, though it may not be in local stock.
- If your exact product is discontinued, ask your prescriber about a clinician-chosen option.
Manufacturer contact numbers are listed on this page for reference. This is general national data and may not match your clinic's actual stock.
- Don’t stop or change the medication on your own — talk to your prescriber first.
- If this is part of an ongoing or essential regimen (for example HIV treatment or prevention, seizure, heart, transplant, diabetes or mental-health medicines), do not skip or ration doses — contact your pharmacist or prescriber right away to arrange continued supply before you run out.
- Ask your pharmacy to check other manufacturers, strengths, package sizes, and nearby stores.
- Ask your prescriber whether a different strength, formulation, or the brand/generic version is appropriate.

Where else can I get Carboplatin Injection?
FDA shortages are manufacturer-reported — a company only shows up on the shortage list if it told the FDA it has a supply problem, so not every maker of Carboplatin Injection is necessarily short. Below we pull together the other still-marketed options that are not reported in shortage: the same medicine from manufacturers that haven’t reported a problem, and alternative dosage forms. These may still be out of stock at your pharmacy, and only your prescriber or pharmacist can decide what’s right for you.

Other drugs in the same treatment class
These are different medicines — not other versions of Carboplatin Injection — that fall in the same broad treatment class (antineoplastic - alkylating agents) . They are not automatic substitutes: they can differ in how they work, dosing, effectiveness, side effects and what they’re approved to treat. Do not switch on your own. This list is for information only — ask your prescriber or pharmacist whether any of them is appropriate for you.
