Inforlife SA: FDA regulatory profile

Inforlife SA appears in 2 indexed U.S. FDA records: 2 drug-shortage entries (from 8 openFDA source rows), naming 2 distinct products. Latest dated event: a shortage record dated 2026-08-18. Observations run 2018-03-27 to 2026-08-18 — 3066 days, 4 dated records across 3 calendar years, busiest 2026 with 2. Shortages: 2 current, averaging 4 package lines each across 2 FDA therapeutic categories, 3 strengths, 9 package NDCs and 1 brand name. 0 related firms and 8 adjacent shortage entries are linked below, each by a shared shortage entry, substance or therapeutic category. Every figure here is a count or a date computed from the indexed FDA datasets over a finite window: coverage-limited activity signals, never quality ratings or judgements about the firm. By year: 2026 (2), 2022 (1), 2018 (1). Shortage entries include Metronidazole Injection (Current, since 2022-01-13, 2 lines) and Ropivacaine Hydrochloride Injection (Current, since 2018-03-27, 6 lines). FDA therapeutic categories covered: Anesthesia and Anti-Infective. This firm appears in 2 indexed records, which is below the threshold this site requires before treating a manufacturer page as a standalone regulatory profile (only 2 indexed record). The page is published so the record remains reachable and verifiable, and it links on to the underlying FDA records, but it is marked noindex and left out of the sitemap: a single appearance of a company name is not a regulatory history, and presenting it as one would overstate what the data supports. Should further records reference this firm in a later ingestion, the page becomes a full profile automatically.

Source limitations

Built from the 2 ingested FDA records for this firm (0 recall, 2 shortage, 0 approval) — not its full regulatory history. The window is finite and can lag the live record, and alternate spellings of a firm name may sit under separate profiles. Confirm details at the linked official source. Regulatory information only: no safety assessment, no recommendation.
