Dextrose Monohydrate 10% Injection shortage
Dextrose Monohydrate 10% Injection is currently listed in shortage by the FDA. The FDA lists 13 affected products. The reported reason: Discontinuation of the manufacture of the drug. This page was last refreshed from FDA data on Oct 4, 2026.
Dextrose Monohydrate 10% Injection has been on the shortage list for over a year, with at least one maker stopping production. All four reporting manufacturers still list some supply available, and Becton Dickinson also lists the 100 mg/mL strength without reporting a shortage.
Don’t stop or change your therapy on your own — ask your pharmacist about other manufacturers (see options) and your prescriber about a long-term plan.

These rows are manufacturer reports to the FDA for Dextrose Monohydrate 10% 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 Dextrose Monohydrate 10% Injection? options further down this page.
Why is Dextrose Monohydrate 10% Injection in shortage?
This shortage listing is here because one specific package of Dextrose 10% Injection — the 10 g/100 mL size made by Otsuka ICU Medical LLC and distributed by ICU Medical — has been permanently discontinued. That particular product (NDC 0990-7938-19) is no longer being manufactured and is listed as unavailable.
The good news is that other package sizes and versions of Dextrose 10% from this same report are still listed as available, including other 10 g/100 mL presentations from Otsuka/ICU Medical, as well as products from B. Braun, Fresenius Kabi, and Baxter. Fresenius Kabi's note does suggest checking with wholesalers for their inventory. So this is really about one specific discontinued package, not the entire product going away.
Based on the manufacturer-reported reason(s) and notes on file with the FDA for Dextrose Monohydrate 10% Injection, 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 Dextrose Monohydrate 10% Injection?
Dextrose Monohydrate 10% Injection is currently on the FDA shortage list, but the overall supply picture is steady. Every strength has at least one manufacturer reporting available product, so the medicine you take should still be obtainable.
All three listed strengths — 10 g/100 mL, 100 mg/1 mL, and 100 g/1000 mL — have an available source right now. None of the strengths is completely without supply. One thing to note: a single product code in the 10 g/100 mL strength (distributed by ICU Medical) has been discontinued, but other makers still list that same strength as available. The FDA reason recorded here is discontinuation by a manufacturer. Even so, four of four manufacturers on this record are reporting supply, which is why the risk level is low.
Here is what I suggest:
- Do not stop, skip, or change your doses on your own.
- Ask your pharmacy to order your strength; they can check wholesalers and other manufacturers, including suppliers like B. Braun, Fresenius Kabi, Otsuka ICU Medical, and Baxter.
- The same medicine is also available from Becton Dickinson; your pharmacy may be able to source it, though it may not be in local stock.
- If your exact product cannot be found, ask your prescriber or pharmacist about options.
Manufacturer contact numbers are listed on this page for reference. This is general national information and may not match your local pharmacy's 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 Dextrose Monohydrate 10% 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 Dextrose Monohydrate 10% 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.
Same medicine, other manufacturers (not reported short)
Same active ingredient, dosage form & route as the shortage (matched on the FDB HICL ingredient code), from makers that have not filed a shortage with the FDA:
| Product | Strength | Form / route | Manufacturer | NDC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dextrose | DEXTROSE MONOHYDRATE 100 mg/mL | Injection, Solution · Intravenous | Becton Dickinson and Company | 17271-0721-05 |
Therapeutic equivalents & pricing 3 productsclick to expand
Orange Book–rated equivalents of the affected strengths, with the latest NADAC price (a federal retail-acquisition benchmark, not your copay) and an evidence-based availability label. Cheapest first.
| Product | Manufacturer | Package | NADAC $/unit | AB rating | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dextrose 10 g/100mL | B. | 1000 ml | — | AP | FDA listed |
| Dextrose 10 g/100mL | B. | 500 ml | — | AP | FDA listed |
| Dextrose 10 g/100mL | B. | 250 ml | — | AP | FDA listed |
Equivalents share the same ingredient, strength, dosage form and route; an AB rating means the FDA considers them substitutable. NADAC is a national retail-pharmacy acquisition benchmark from CMS — not what you pay. Availability is inferred from recent pricing, not a stock check.
Other drugs in the same treatment class
These are different medicines — not other versions of Dextrose Monohydrate 10% Injection — that fall in the same broad treatment class (iv solutions: dextrose-water) . 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.
