Why would classifying it a shortage make it expensive?

Classifying it as a shortage makes it cheap. It will get expensive when it is off the shortage list.

The FDA shortage list allows compound pharmacies to produce it without paying for patents/licensing.

Being on the shortage list is what allows compounders to sell it. Once that is no longer true, that option goes away.
