> FDA regulated drugs often operate on a production quota system where a given company is only allowed to manufacture a pre-approved amount.

My understanding is that this only applies to Schedule I and II drugs.

The Epipen, along with most other pharmaceutical drugs, do not fall under those categories.

Are schedule I drugs allowed to be manufactured at all? I thought schedule I meant the FDA has determined that no medical use exists.
