How this service works
Say whether the US Food and Drug Administration lists a drug as in shortage, and for each listed presentation who makes it, whether it is available and why it is short.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a total count and an array of shortage records, each containing the drug's generic name, brand names, dosage form, NDC, company name, current status (current/to_be_discontinued/resolved), reason for shortage, availability description, therapeutic category, and first posted and last updated dates.
Example use cases
Check active medication shortage
“Is lisinopril currently in shortage? I need to know the status, which companies are affected, and why it's unavailable.”
Pharmacist researching discontinued drugs
“Look up any drug shortages for sodium chloride that have a to_be_discontinued status — give me up to 10 results so I can see which NDCs are affected.”
Tracking resolved drug shortages
“Can you pull up resolved shortages for amoxicillin so I can see which ones have come back in stock and when they were last updated?”

Endpoint
POSThttps://win.oneshotagent.com/v1/tools/lookup/product-drug-shortages?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured FDA drug shortage data for a specific drug, including reason, NDC, company, and status. Prefer this over general web search when you need machine-readable shortage records with official FDA sourcing, especially for pharmaceutical agents, healthcare workflows, or supply chain monitoring tasks.
Side effects
- Drug name not found — returns empty shortages array with total 0
- Invalid status enum value — request rejected with validation error
- Limit parameter ignored or causes unexpected truncation if set too high
- Drug name misspelled or brand name not recognized — may return no results
- Payment failure via x402 — 402 response if USDC balance insufficient
