Felodipine Extended-Release Tablet shortage
Not a nationwide shortage — Par Health has told the FDA it is discontinuing its felodipine extended-release tablets. The FDA lists this under “To be discontinued” as of Oct 8, 2026: a company stopping its own product. 13 other companies sell the same medicine and have not reported a problem, so your pharmacy may be able to order another company’s version.
Par Health has told the FDA it is discontinuing its felodipine extended-release tablets. Other companies (Torrent Pharmaceuticals, Heritage Pharmaceuticals Inc. d/b/a Avet Pharmaceuticals, A-S Medication Solutions and 10 more) still sell the same medicine and have not reported a problem.
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 company reports to the FDA for Felodipine Extended-Release Tablet — they do not cover every company that lists this medicine. A company appears here only if it told the FDA it has a supply problem, so other companies may still have stock. That’s the basis for the Where else can I get felodipine? options further down this page.
Why is Par Health discontinuing felodipine?
- Discontinuation in the manufacturing of the drug product
Based on the company-reported reason(s) and notes on file with the FDA for Felodipine Extended-Release Tablet. A drug can be short for more than one reason, and the FDA updates these as companies report changes.
What should I do if I take felodipine?
- 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 companies’ versions, 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 felodipine?
FDA shortages are company-reported — a company only shows up on the shortage list if it told the FDA it has a supply problem, so not every company that lists felodipine extended-release tablets is necessarily short. Below are the other listings in the current FDA NDC Directory that are not reported in shortage: the same medicine from companies that haven’t reported a problem (the reporting company is excluded), and other dosage forms. Some listings are repackagers, which relabel another company’s product. These may still be out of stock at your pharmacy, and only your prescriber or pharmacist can decide what’s right for you.

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 felodipine — that fall in the same broad treatment class (calcium channel blocking 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.
