Pentostatin has been on the FDA shortage list for 2 months (September 2026 to October 2026).

  1. 381 of the 397 listings measured since 2014 lasted at least that long.
  2. 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).
  3. Pentostatin has been listed 2 times since 2014: earlier listings lasted 1 year and 2 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.
