Is Brenzavvy in shortage in 2026? Get the latest update on availability, pricing, and what to do if you can't find your prescription.
If you've been told your pharmacy doesn't have Brenzavvy (Bexagliflozin), you might be wondering whether there's a nationwide shortage. The short answer: Brenzavvy is not currently listed on the FDA Drug Shortage Database as of early 2026.
But that doesn't mean it's easy to find. There's a difference between a drug shortage and a drug that's simply hard to locate at your local pharmacy. Brenzavvy falls into the second category — and understanding why can help you get your prescription filled faster.
Yes, for many patients. Even without a formal shortage, Brenzavvy can be difficult to find at traditional chain pharmacies. The reasons are structural rather than supply-related:
For a deeper explanation, see why Brenzavvy is so hard to find.
Unlike high-profile shortages affecting medications like Ozempic or Adderall, Brenzavvy's availability challenges stem from its business model, not supply disruptions. TheracosBio made a deliberate decision to price Brenzavvy far below other SGLT2 inhibitors — as low as $43 to $69/month — by bypassing the traditional PBM and insurance markup system.
This is great for your wallet but creates a catch-22: since many insurers don't cover Brenzavvy, pharmacies don't stock it, and since pharmacies don't stock it, patients struggle to find it. It's a distribution gap, not a manufacturing one.
Brenzavvy remains one of the most affordable brand-name diabetes medications available:
Compare that to other SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance ($550+/month) or Farxiga ($500+/month) at retail, and Brenzavvy's value becomes clear. For complete savings strategies, see our guide on how to save money on Brenzavvy.
