Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company to Address Penicillin Shortage with New Import Initiative
Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Drug Company is collaborating with the FDA to temporarily import and distribute penicillin in response to shortages. The online pharmacy plans to import 1.2 million units of penicillin to address the supply gap left by Pfizer’s Bicillin L-A, which is expected to be fully available later this year. Cost Plus will distribute Lentocilin, a penicillin powder from Portugal-based Laboratórios Atral S.A., though it is not FDA-approved and will be available only by prescription in the U.S.
