Entacapone Shortage

There seems to be a shortage of entacapone brand TEVA can pduk have a look into this please

Hi @gus,

Yes, we’re aware that there’s an issue with Entacapone supply and we’ve been in touch with pharma companies and the Department of Health and Social Care. There should be more stock in, in around or week. I’d encourage you to go back to their GP or nurse to discuss an alternative if you’re out of you medication.

If you need to speak to someone about this, please do not hesitate to give our helpline a call on 0808 800 0303.

Best wishes,
Reah

Thank you

Hi Gus,

We’ve had some feedback that Entacapone is likely to be out of stock for a month. In the meantime we’d advise that you speak to your GP or specialist. There is an alternative available, but it may require a new prescription.

Best wishes,

Tom

I’ve got enough for the next 2 months hopefully it will be back in stock, it’s been unavailable for 6 weeks now so let’s hope it won’t be to long. Thanks for your help
