According to the FDA, American Regent/Luitpold has now released several batches of acetylcysteine inhalation solution, including 10 ml vials of both 100 mg/ml and 200 mg/ml solutions and 30 ml vials of the 200 mg/ml solution. The company’s facility in Shirley, NY was closed in April 2011 due to safety concerns.
Two other manufacturers, Roxanne Laboratories and Hospira have also experienced shortages of acetylcysteine inhalation solution and both now anticipate releasing some product by the end of the year.
