Carboplatin Injection

What This Carboplatin Shortage Record Means

The FDA Drug Shortages database lists this record for Carboplatin Injection (brand: CARBOPLATIN) from Teyro Labs with a current status of Active Shortage. The affected dosage form is Injection, presented as Carboplatin, Injection, 50 mg/5 mL (10 mg/mL) Multiple Dose Vial (NDC 60505-6282-1). 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 Apr 28, 2023 and was last updated Mar 17, 2026. The FDA cites the following reason: Discontinuation of the manufacture of the drug. There are 6 other current records in this database covering the same generic, which gives a fuller picture of how disruption is playing out across manufacturers and dosage forms.

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.
