Morphine Sulfate has been on the FDA shortage list for 9 years (November 2017 to October 2026).
- 7 of the 397 listings measured since 2014 lasted at least that long.
- Only 7 past listings reached this age, too few to show a share. The counts are below.
- Morphine Sulfate has been listed 2 times since 2014: earlier listings lasted 10 months.
- 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.
