Itraconazole Capsule shortage
Itraconazole Capsule is currently listed in shortage by the FDA. The FDA lists 3 affected products. This page was last refreshed from FDA data on Oct 4, 2026.
Janssen Pharmaceuticals is permanently stopping its itraconazole 100 mg capsules. Other makers — including Torrent Pharmaceuticals, Rising Pharma, NorthStar Rx, and AvPAK — have not reported a shortage and 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 Itraconazole Capsule — 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 Itraconazole Capsule? options further down this page.
Why is Itraconazole Capsule in shortage?
Janssen Pharmaceuticals has reported to the FDA that it is permanently stopping the manufacturing of Sporanox (itraconazole) 100 mg capsules. This affects all three of their package sizes for this product. Janssen did not share a specific public reason for why they are making this decision — just that the drug is being discontinued on their end.
It's worth knowing that this report only reflects what Janssen has shared with the FDA. It doesn't mean itraconazole 100 mg capsules are disappearing from every manufacturer — other companies may still be producing this medication and are listed separately.
Based on the manufacturer-reported reason(s) and notes on file with the FDA for Itraconazole Capsule, 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 Itraconazole Capsule?
Itraconazole capsules are currently on the FDA drug-shortage list, and I want to walk you through what that means for your supply.
The affected product is the 100 mg capsule, which has no available source reported at this time. This record reflects the branded version, Sporanox, made by Janssen Pharmaceuticals. The listed reason is discontinuation of the manufacture of the drug. Because this is marked "to be discontinued," the supply problem from this maker may be permanent rather than temporary — which makes a conversation with your prescriber or pharmacist the right next step.
Importantly, this shortage report reflects only one manufacturer. The same medicine, itraconazole 100 mg, is still listed from several other makers, so your pharmacy may be able to source it elsewhere.
Here is what I suggest, in order:
- Do not stop, skip, or change your doses on your own.
- Ask your pharmacy to check wholesalers and other manufacturers; the same medicine (itraconazole 100 mg capsules) is available from makers such as Torrent, Rising, NorthStar, Alembic, Amneal, and Ascend, though it may not be in local stock.
- If your capsule 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 these calls.
- 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 Itraconazole Capsule?
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 Itraconazole Capsule 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 Itraconazole Capsule — that fall in the same broad treatment class (antifungal 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.
