Ketorolac Tromethamine has been on the FDA shortage list for 8 years and 7 months (April 2018 to October 2026).

  1. 15 of the 397 listings measured since 2014 lasted at least that long.
  2. Only 15 past listings reached this age, too few to show a share. The counts are below.
  3. Ketorolac Tromethamine has been listed 2 times since 2014: earlier listings lasted 9 months.
  4. None of this predicts an end date. A listing ends when the FDA removes it, which reflects supply across the whole country, and says nothing about one pharmacy's shelf.
