Is Cambia in shortage in 2026? Get the latest update on Cambia availability, pricing, and what patients can do to find this migraine medication.
If you've been unable to fill your Cambia prescription recently, you may be wondering: is there a Cambia shortage? It's a fair question. When pharmacy after pharmacy tells you they don't have your medication, it certainly feels like a shortage.
Here's the current picture for 2026, and what you can do about it.
As of early 2026, Cambia is not listed on the FDA's official drug shortage database. There is no formal supply disruption from the manufacturer, Assertio Therapeutics. The medication is being produced and distributed through normal channels.
However — and this is an important distinction — Cambia is functionally hard to find at many retail pharmacies. Patients across the country report being told their pharmacy doesn't carry it, can't get it, or would need to special-order it. This "soft shortage" is driven not by a manufacturing problem, but by low demand, high cost, and limited insurance coverage.
In other words, the supply exists — it's just not sitting on pharmacy shelves where you need it.
Several factors combine to make Cambia difficult to locate:
