As of June 2025, the FDA has marked several strengths of Amoxicillin powder for suspension as available again — but supply remains inconsistent across distributors. Pharmacies nationwide are still reporting backorders, especially for pediatric-use concentrations like 125 mg/5 mL and 250 mg/5 mL. In this post, we’ll break down the current shortage status, what’s changed, and where licensed pharmacies can request product today.
Why the Shortage Mattered
Amoxicillin powder for suspension is one of the most commonly prescribed antibiotics for children. It’s used to treat a wide range of infections—especially in pediatric patients who can’t swallow tablets. The shortage strained pharmacy inventories and often left caregivers scrambling to find alternatives or facing delays in treatment.
The shortage impacted multiple concentrations: 125 mg/5 mL, 200 mg/5 mL, 250 mg/5 mL, and 400 mg/5 mL. Independent pharmacies were particularly hard hit, as large chains could often secure supply through locked-in distributor contracts, while smaller buyers struggled with inconsistent availability and fluctuating prices.
What’s Available Now
The FDA now lists all major presentations of amoxicillin powder for suspension as Available. Products from leading manufacturers—including Aurobindo, Hikma, Sandoz, and Teva—are back in stock. If you’re an independent pharmacy looking to rebuild inventory or ensure continuity of care for pediatric patients, now is the time to assess your purchasing needs.
