I would like to know who manufactures the generic of Desoxyn. I would also like to talk to manufacturers as to why there is a shortage of the generic drug of Desoxyn. What is causing the problem. I’ve been on this medication since 2008 and now it has become impossible to find. Is there a reason for that and what is it? Is there something or someone(s) that one could speak with about correcting this matter? Your help would be priceless if I could get to the bottom of this problem. Thank you…

Dear friend, I have also been prescribed generic Desoxyn since 2000 with excellent results. I never required an increase in dose. My pharmacist conducted an extensive search and the generic version is nowhere to be found as of 02/01/2024. I don't know why the maker has been unable to start production since stoping some two years ago. Still, someone should inform them that they were the sole manufacturer and the patient population has had to substitute sub-optimal medication while waiting (hoping) for generic Desoxyn to become available. We are at the mercy of the market.
I wish I had better news to report.
I only know what is currently listed on the FDA Drug Shortages list, which is most likely an incomplete list. Currently they list the following:
Company Name Contact Info
Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Inc 866-732-3952
Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. 800-631-2174
Key Therapeutics, Inc. 888-981-8337
I'm in the same boat as you. It's been unavailable since approximately 11/2022. If you or anyone else that sees this has further info, please respond here.
I've contacted the manufacturers by phone and/or email and they have not responded AT ALL to my requests for help.
