Shortage status

Whether the FDA lists this drug as in short supply.

Not on the FDA shortage list as of Nov 10, 2026.

4 products being discontinued. A maker has told the FDA it will stop making these. That is one maker leaving, not a shortage of the drug:

The list changes daily, and it covers the national supply. A pharmacy near you can be out of a drug that is not listed, or have one that is. See today's status.

This is not your price. NADAC is the national average that retail pharmacies pay to buy the drug, from the Medicaid survey for the week of Nov 11, 2026. What you pay adds the pharmacy's markup and dispensing fee and depends on your insurance or any discount card. "For 30" is shown only for products priced per tablet or capsule. Brand prices here are before any rebates.

Spending is the gross amount paid at the pharmacy by Part D plans and patients, before manufacturer rebates, which can be large for brand drugs. The same person can use more than one product, so people are not added up across rows. A dash means the file suppresses a small number or has no figure for that year.

04

FDA recalls

Recalls reported to the FDA that name this drug.

The FDA has 30 recall records that name doxycycline in the product description (29 Class II · 1 Class III). 1 are still marked ongoing.

Most recent 12

A recall covers specific lots from one company, not every bottle of the drug. Records include combination products and compounded versions that name this ingredient. Class I is the most serious: use could cause serious harm. Class II may cause temporary or reversible harm. Class III is unlikely to cause harm. To check a bottle, match the lot number on the label. See the live list. Do not stop a medicine because of a recall without asking your pharmacist.

These are saved records as of Nov 10, 2026; the sources update daily to yearly. For current figures open the live report for doxycycline. This page is public-record information, not medical advice.
