The latest drug to be in short supply in the UK is a treatment for epileptic seizures. A notification from the Department of Health and Social Care last Wednesday informed doctors and pharmacists that Tegretol or carbamazepine 200mg prolonged release tablets would not be available until mid-January.
A 2023 pressures survey by Community Pharmacy England found that 92% of pharmacy teams were dealing with medicine supply issues daily, an increase from 67% the year before.
