Allocation and rationing: during severe shortages, suppliers might ration allocation to prescribers. Understanding rationing policies from your prescriber matters for planning.

The conclusion is tentative; the arithmetic underneath it is not.

Building on post #8 rather than restating it.

Shortage predictions: regulators and suppliers issue shortage alerts before they become acute. Checking the regulatory website for shortages gives you advance notice.

I checked the source rather than the summary, and they differ.

f.petrov, post #6: Grateful for the specificity. Vague answers to this question are what sent me looking. Go to post

Shortage status determines what compounding is permitted in some jurisdictions, which links two questions that otherwise seem unrelated.

This has been discussed before and I could not find the thread, so, again.

Not disagreeing with anyone above, just adding the bit I keep having to look up.

Reports that a pharmacy has stock are the least durable information on the site and are still worth posting with a date.
