Anti-inflammatories - Top drug shortages by treatment category
Anti-inflammatory and central nervous system treatments topped our 2010 counterfeit drug list. That's a likely indicator that supplies are inadequate. In addition, particles detected in some vials of the anti-inflammatory Dyloject led to the recall of all batches in the U.K. by Therabel, a licensee of Javelin Pharmaceuticals, further constraining supply.
