DrugShortages is an iPhone application developed by the Food and Drug Administration, available for free in the Education & Reference category, specifically focusing on Medicine. This app streamlines access to crucial drug shortage information, offering real-time updates on current shortages, resolved issues, and product discontinuations.

Health care practitioners and pharmacists benefit from the app's searchable database, enabling quick identification of drug shortages and informed decision-making regarding patient treatment. Users can search for drugs by generic name or active ingredient, browse by alphabetic list or therapeutic category, and access guidance on reporting shortages or supply problems. Additionally, the app provides valuable links to further resources from the FDA and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP).
