"Companies have told us that these injectable drugs are older drugs and not as profitable," she said. "They've told us it's a business decision to discontinue production."

Over the last six years, the number of prescription drug shortages in the country has nearly tripled, the agency said.

Since drugmakers aren't mandated to report drug shortages to the FDA, the agency said it is urging companies to voluntarily alert regulators of impending scarcities "in the interest of public health."
 
In these cases, the patents should be made public to allow other companies to produce them while paying the original compnaies a royalty.

Or if the original company simply doesn't want to make them any longer they lose the patent.

It wouldn't be a bad idea if there are a number of drugs like this that the VA, Medicare and Medicaid use, that they set up production with a company and save even more.
