The major reason is manufacturing issues and overwhelming demand. It's a chronic supply and demand issue.

One of my meds was in such short supply that it took me 4 months to get a single prescription filled.

The FDA had limited the amount of one of the ingredients available to the mfr, and caused a continent-wide shortage. This was in 2015.

A drug manufacturer must get permission from the FDA every time they do a production run (among other reasons for shortages, of course).
