Pentostatin has been on the FDA shortage list for 2 months (September 2026 to October 2026).
- 381 of the 397 listings measured since 2014 lasted at least that long.
- Of the 381 past listings that reached the same age, 83% were still listed 6 months later (317 listings measured), 69% were still listed 12 months later (262 listings measured) and 42% were still listed 24 months later (159 listings measured).
- Pentostatin has been listed 2 times since 2014: earlier listings lasted 1 year and 2 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.
