We have heard of further reports of people struggling to get supply of their Tegretol prescription. We asked Novartis, the manufacturer of Tegretol, to provide a further update.
Novartis have told us this week that all strengths of Tegretol standard and prolonged release is in stock and wholesalers are receiving regular weekly supplies.
It can take time for stock to go out to wholesalers and then to pharmacies, even weeks in some cases.
If you’re not able to get supply of your medicine you can:
- Ask other pharmacies to see if they have supply or are able to quickly get supply.
- Speak to your doctor for further advice or call 111 if you need immediate advice.
- You can also read our information about switching between different versions of your epilepsy medicine.
