Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Tbo-filgrastim in shortage?
Drug shortages can result from manufacturing problems, quality issues, raw material shortages, or increased demand. The FDA works with manufacturers to resolve shortages as quickly as possible.
What can I do if my medication is in shortage?
Contact your pharmacist — they can check availability across suppliers or suggest an equivalent from a different manufacturer. Your prescriber may also recommend a therapeutic substitute from the same drug class.
How often is this data updated?
Shortage data comes from the FDA Drug Shortages Database via openFDA. The database is updated regularly as manufacturers report changes to the FDA.

What This Tbo-filgrastim Shortage Record Means

The FDA Drug Shortages database lists this record for Tbo-filgrastim Injection (brand: GRANIX) from Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. with a current status of To Be Discontinued. The affected dosage form is Injection, presented as Granix, Injection, 480 ug/1.6 mL (NDC 63459-920-59). Shortages are tracked at the manufacturer and presentation level — other manufacturers or formulations of the same generic may remain available, which is why pharmacists often can source a working substitute even when one record is flagged.

This shortage was first reported on Jun 13, 2025 and was last updated Jun 13, 2025. FDA-supplied reason codes are not recorded for this entry; common drivers include manufacturing quality issues, raw-material constraints, demand surges, and voluntary business decisions to discontinue a presentation. No other current shortage records match this generic in the database, which can signal that either the disruption is contained to one manufacturer or other suppliers have not yet formally reported a shortfall.

A shortage listing is a supply-side signal, not a patient-level instruction. Access can vary dramatically by pharmacy, region, hospital system, and insurance formulary — local pharmacists have real-time visibility that a national database cannot provide. Therapeutic substitutes often exist in the same class, but switching decisions belong with your prescriber, who weighs efficacy, dosing conversion, interaction profile, and personal history. This page summarizes public FDA data for educational reference only and is not medical advice. If your medication is affected, contact your pharmacist and prescriber to plan an appropriate response.
