Please be aware of the following national medication shortages:
Ozempic (semaglutide), Trulicity (dulaglutide) and Victoza (liraglutide) for the treatment of diabetes.
Ozempic (semaglutide), Trulicity (dulaglutide) and Victoza (liraglutide) are unavailable nationally. No stock is due to be available for the foreseeable future. We are placing affected patients on a waiting list for review and consideration of alternatives. Patients are advised to continue with all their other medication as normal and we will be contacting patients to review as soon as we can. There is no need to contact us directly.
Update: We have been made aware that pharmacies have been able to source some supplies of Trulicity 1.5mg pens. If you are prescribed this preparation, please check with your usual pharmacy who should be able to dispense the item for you.
Utrogestan capsules are currently in short supply across the UK. They are expected to be intermittent supply until the end of the year. In order to manage this shortage, we are limiting the quantity we issue to each patient to a month’s supply.
If you are taking Utrogestan capsules as part of your Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), it is very important that you continue to take it and do not continue oestrogen alone. Progesterone plays an important role in keeping the uterus lining thin, reducing the risk of cancer.
If you pay for your prescriptions, we advise you purchase an HRT prescription prepayment certificate, enabling you to have all your HRT for a year for the cost of two prescription charges. See here for more details: NHS Hormone Replacement Therapy Prescription Prepayment Certificate (HRT PPC) | NHSBSA
Please be reassured that we are keeping in regular contact with the local pharmacies to try to ensure continued supply for all patients.
