title: Drug shortage.
abstract: Calcium gluconate, neostigmine, propofol, epinephrine, furosemide, and a host of sterile injectables, as well as antibiotics and other medications, are among the drugs on an expansive list of shortages tracked by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A record 246 drugs were in short supply as of June, according to FDA. That figure has many Texas physicians worried about potential risks to patient safety and quality of care.
