The non-profit solution
for reliable supplies of drugs
at risk of shortage
Drug shortages put patients at risk. Civica was created to prevent and mitigate shortages.
Drug shortages have persisted for decades and continue to be a problem today. They disrupt and compromise patient care. They can cost hospitals nearly $360 million annually in labor expenses.1
Yet, in spite of shortages, Civica has been able to reliably supply our hospital members with the quality generic injectable medications their patients need.
Civica is the only pharmaceutical company created for the express purpose of preventing and mitigating drug shortages. The medications we deliver are chosen by hospital member pharmacists and clinicians because they are in shortage or at risk of shortage. We work to hold 6 months of extra inventory, enabling us to meet or exceed hospital order commitments. Our prices remain stable and equal for all members, and do not increase when the drug is in short supply.
Together with our hospital members, we are reducing the impact of drug shortages. Join us.

Injectable morphine has been in shortage for over 3,000 days2. Civica members have reliable supplies.
Nearly 80 generic medications are accessible to Civica member hospitals for patient care.
We provide medicines in these categories of care:
We are growing U.S. manufacturing capability, as well. Our new 140,000 square-foot sterile injectable manufacturing facility in Petersburg, Virginia has three production lines – one for vials, another for prefilled syringes, and a third to supply prefilled pen cartridges – that combined can produce more than 200 million units annually, which will tremendously impact the availability and cost of these medicines throughout the country.

Nearly 60 health systems and hospitals, representing 1/3 of all U.S. inpatient beds, have joined Civica to ensure they have the medications needed to treat their patients.
Our hospital members tell us which essential medications they need us to provide to avoid drug shortages.
Civica, along with likeminded manufacturing partners, is stabilizing the supply of life saving medications for hospital members so they can focus on quality patient care instead of urgently trying to source alternative therapies.
By partnering with quality generic drug manufacturers, Civica ensures medications are available to hospitals when patients need them. Civica and our manufacturing partners have deep experience in quality, safety and regulatory compliance. Our hospital members have deep experience in quality patient care. Long-term agreements between all parties ensure predictable volumes for manufacturers and a steady supply of essential generic medicines for hospitals and the patients they serve.
Together, we’re solving drug shortages and building a stable system of drug delivery. Join us.
