Here’s the bottom line

Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) capsules have been in shortage for over a year, with supply problems tied to ingredient shortages and shipping delays. All strengths still have at least some supply, and makers not reporting a shortage — including Sandoz and Camber — list the 10 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, and 40 mg strengths.

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 Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate 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 Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate Capsule? options further down this page.

Why is Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate Capsule in shortage?

The main reason several manufacturers of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate capsules are on the FDA shortage list is a shortage of the active ingredient itself — meaning there simply isn't enough of the raw material needed to make the medicine at normal levels. This affects all strengths (10 mg through 70 mg) from Hikma Pharmaceuticals, Solco Healthcare, and Rhodes Pharmaceuticals, and those companies are currently distributing what they have "on allocation," meaning supplies are being carefully rationed. Rhodes has noted that recovery timing for most of their affected strengths (10 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, 40 mg, 50 mg, and 70 mg) is still to be determined, though their 60 mg capsules are currently available.

It's worth noting that the shortage picture varies by manufacturer. Mylan, Lannett, and SpecGx are currently reporting their full lines of lisdexamfetamine capsules across all strengths as available. The FDA shortage reasons listed also include "other" and "shipping delays" as contributing factors for this shortage overall, though no further specific details were shared publicly beyond the active ingredient supply issue.

FDA reason code(s): Shortage of an active ingredient; Other; Delay in shipping of the drug

Based on the manufacturer-reported reason(s) and notes on file with the FDA for Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate 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 Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate Capsule?

Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate capsules are currently on the FDA shortage list, but the supply picture is steady. Every strength — 10 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, 40 mg, 50 mg, 60 mg, and 70 mg — still has an available source right now. There is no strength that is completely without supply, so the dose you take should be findable.

This has been an ongoing situation for more than a year, and the reported reasons include a shortage of an active ingredient, shipping delays, and other manufacturing factors. The important part: all 13 manufacturers on this record are still reporting supply. Some makers list their capsules as "on allocation," which simply means they are releasing limited quantities at a time, and recovery timing is mostly listed as to-be-determined. This is a supply slowdown, not a stop.

Here is what I suggest:

  • Do not stop, skip, or change your dose on your own.
  • Ask your pharmacy to order your strength; they can check wholesalers and other manufacturers, since several makers still show it as available.
  • If your usual brand is short, the same medicine is also made by other companies (for example, Sandoz or Camber) — your pharmacy may be able to source one, though it may not be in local stock.
  • If your exact strength cannot be found, ask your prescriber or pharmacist about options, such as a clinician-chosen alternative.

Manufacturer contact numbers are listed on this page for reference, though your pharmacy usually makes these calls. This is national, manufacturer-reported information and may not match your local pharmacy's stock.

See “Where else can I get Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate Capsule?” below ↓ The same medicine from manufacturers not reporting a shortage, alternative dosage forms, and therapeutic equivalents with pricing.
If you are a patient:
  • 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.
  • This is a controlled substance. Transfers between pharmacies and switching strengths have extra federal/state rules — ask the pharmacy before you assume a transfer is possible.

Where else can I get Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate 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 Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate 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.

Same medicine, other manufacturers (not reported short)

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 Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate Capsule — that fall in the same broad treatment class (adrenergics, aromatic, non-catecholamine) . 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.

Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate Capsule shortage FAQs

Is Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate Capsule in shortage?
Yes — the FDA currently lists Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate Capsule in shortage (status: “Current”, first reported Jul 14, 2023). 90 of 90 products are affected. This is national, manufacturer-reported data, so your pharmacy may still have stock.

The full per-NDC list (availability, manufacturer and status) is in the table above — each NDC links to its own page.
When will Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate Capsule be available again?
The FDA does not publish a guaranteed restock date, and no estimated-recovery note is on file. Availability can change daily — confirm with your pharmacy.
Can I still get Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate somewhere?

What should I do if I take Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate Capsule?
Don’t stop or change it on your own. Ask your pharmacist whether they can order it from another manufacturer or a different strength/package size, and ask your prescriber about a long-term plan before your supply runs out. Because this is a controlled substance, transfers and substitutions have extra federal/state rules — ask the pharmacy first.

How to read the Supply-Risk rating
Low (1–2)Multiple manufacturers still supplying and most strengths or pack sizes sourceable.
Medium (3)Some constraint — fewer suppliers or a notable share of NDCs unavailable.
High (4–5)Down to a single source, most strengths or pack sizes unsourceable, or a long-running outage.
Where does this data come from?
Shortage records come from the FDA Drug Shortages Database API via openFDA (/drug/shortages) — drug, manufacturer & contact, NDC/product, status, availability, reason, therapeutic category and posting/update dates. Current / To Be Discontinued = active; Resolved is kept for history. The Supply-Risk rating is assessed per active ingredient and adds the FDA NDC Directory (still-marketed manufacturers by ingredient & form); same-medicine and equivalent products use First Databank classification + CMS NADAC pricing; Medicaid use + most-affected states come from CMS Medicaid State Drug Utilization Data. Reference only — confirm current status with the manufacturer or FDA before acting on it.
