Ritonavir Tablet shortage
Ritonavir Tablet is currently listed in shortage by the FDA. The FDA lists 1 affected product. This page was last refreshed from FDA data on Oct 2, 2026.
AbbVie is stopping production of its ritonavir 100 mg tablets, and the change may be permanent. Other makers still list ritonavir 100 mg tablets 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 Ritonavir Tablet — 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 Ritonavir Tablet? options further down this page.
Why is Ritonavir Tablet in shortage?
AbbVie Inc. has let the FDA know that they are permanently stopping the manufacture of their brand-name Norvir 100 mg tablets — specifically the 30-tablet bottle (NDC 0074-2340-30). This means that particular package will no longer be produced going forward. No specific public reason was shared with the FDA explaining why AbbVie made this decision.
It's worth knowing that this report only covers AbbVie's version of this product. Other manufacturers may make ritonavir tablets and are listed separately on this page, so this does not mean ritonavir tablets as a whole are disappearing from the market.
Based on the manufacturer-reported reason(s) and notes on file with the FDA for Ritonavir Tablet, 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 Ritonavir Tablet?
Ritonavir 100 mg tablets are currently on the FDA shortage list. This report reflects one manufacturer, AbbVie (Norvir, 100 mg), which has listed this product as to be discontinued. Because this is a discontinuation rather than a temporary delay, the supply problem from that maker may be permanent.
The affected strength is 100 mg, and the record shows no available source from that manufacturer right now. The reported reason is discontinuation of manufacture, and no estimated-recovery date is listed. Please know this shortage record covers only the manufacturer that filed it — other companies still make ritonavir 100 mg tablets, so the medicine itself remains on the market.
Here is what I suggest:
- Do not stop, skip, or change your dose on your own — keep taking your ritonavir as prescribed.
- Ask your pharmacy to check wholesalers and other makers; the same medicine (ritonavir 100 mg tablet) is listed as available from Camber, American Health Packaging, Amneal, Aurobindo, and Cipla, though any one may not be in local stock.
- Because AbbVie's version is being discontinued, talk with your prescriber or pharmacist about a suitable long-term option.
- Manufacturer contact numbers are listed on this page for reference; pharmacies usually make these calls.
This is general, national information 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.

Where else can I get Ritonavir Tablet?
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 Ritonavir Tablet 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)

| Ritonavir 100 mg | American | 1 tablet | $0.607 | AB | Availability likely |

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 Ritonavir Tablet — that fall in the same broad treatment class (antivirals, hiv-specific, protease inhibitors) . 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.
