Civica Rx

Civica Rx is the nonprofit solution for reliable supplies of quality generic medications. Established by U.S. member hospitals and philanthropic organizations, Civica is the only pharmaceutical company created for the express purpose of preventing and mitigating drug shortages, ensuring the affordable supply of essential medications used in America’s ERs, ICUs and during surgeries. As of mid-2024, Civica has provided more than 185 million units of medications to help treat over 80 million patients.

Civica is making significant progress in bringing its new state-of-the-art Virginia sterile injectable manufacturing facility online. This facility will produce a steady supply of more than three dozen drugs currently in or near shortage status. It will also produce affordable biosimilar insulins, ensuring all Americans have access to lower cost, quality insulins, regardless of their insurance status.

The growing team on site is completing the various qualification and regulatory steps needed to bring each of the facility’s existing filling lines – one for vials and another for pre-filled syringes – to full operation and is installing a third line that will supply pre-filled pen cartridges. Combined, these three production lines will produce more than 200 million units annually, which will tremendously impact the availability and cost of these medicines throughout the country.

Civica is on a mission to deliver quality generic medicines—including insulin—at low cost. A new isolator-integrated vial filling line and nest filling line allow them to produce many different forms of injectables to pivot based on greatest need.
