Dehydrated Alcohol Injection, Solution shortage
Dehydrated Alcohol Injection, Solution is currently listed in shortage by the FDA. The FDA lists 1 affected product. This page was last refreshed from FDA data on Sep 21, 2026.
Accord Healthcare is discontinuing the 10-pack of Dehydrated Alcohol Injection, and the change may be permanent. Accord is switching to a 5-pack version (NDC 16729-710-53), and other makers still list this medicine as available.
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 Dehydrated Alcohol Injection, Solution — 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.

Why is Dehydrated Alcohol Injection, Solution in shortage?
Accord Healthcare has let the FDA know that they are permanently stopping the 10-pack version of Dehydrated Alcohol Injection (1 mL/1 mL, NDC 16729-710-45). They didn't share a specific reason for making this change.
The good news is that Accord is not stopping this medicine altogether — they are transitioning to a 5-pack version of the same product (NDC 16729-710-53) instead. So it's really a packaging change for this particular manufacturer, not a disappearance of the product from them entirely.
Based on the manufacturer-reported reason(s) and notes on file with the FDA for Dehydrated Alcohol Injection, Solution, summarized in plain English by HelloPharmacist. A drug can be short for more than one reason, and the FDA updates these as manufacturers report changes.
What should I do if I take Dehydrated Alcohol Injection, Solution?
Dehydrated Alcohol Injection is currently on the FDA drug-shortage list, and I want to walk you through what that means for you.
The specific product affected is the 1 mL/1 mL, 10-pack configuration, which has no available source reported right now. This is the only strength listed on this record, so there is no separate "still available" version of the same package to point you to.
The reason given is that the manufacturer, Accord Healthcare, is transitioning from the 10-pack to a 5-pack configuration. Because this record is marked "to be discontinued," this particular 10-pack may not return, so a conversation with your prescriber or pharmacist about next steps is the right move. Keep in mind this report reflects only Accord; other companies may still supply this same medicine.
Here is what I suggest:
- Do not stop, skip, or change how this medicine is used on your own.
- Ask your pharmacy to check with wholesalers and other makers — the same medicine (dehydrated alcohol injection) is also listed from XGen, A-S Medication Solutions, BPI Labs, Ajenat, and Avenacy, though it may not be in local stock.
- If your exact product cannot be found, ask your prescriber or pharmacist about a clinician-chosen option.
Manufacturer contact numbers are listed on this page for reference; pharmacies usually handle those calls. This is national, manufacturer-reported data and may not match your local pharmacy'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.

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 Dehydrated Alcohol Injection, Solution is necessarily short.
