Some IV fluids are in short supply due to higher-than-expected demand and manufacturing issues. But why do IV fluids contain different chemicals? And why can’t they be interchanged when one runs low?
Much of the industry has been outsourced to a point even trying to make some of this stuff domestically at volume is impossible, and if it is the price points are wildly off.
Nothing is impossible. It was manufactured locally before and can (and should) be manufactured locally again. There’s no sane reason importing sanitary salt water from China should be cheaper than making it domestically.

Good luck some of the capital required to startup manufacturers like these have a horrible ROI.
