Availability of Fentanyl Intranasal

HPS Pharmacies wish to advise that Perrigo is experiencing a supply interruption for Fentanyl Intranasal as follows:

Fentanyl Intranasal
Fentanyl 450mcg/1.5ml 

As stock is severely limited, Perrigo has instituted a supply restriction. Supply is currently restricted to ambulance and related emergency services customers only.

This supply interruption is due to machinery requiring repair by the overseas-based manufacturer. While an additional batch was manufactured to cover the expected machine downtime, this batch failed quality assurance and compliance review and is unable to be distributed.

An estimated return date for normal supply is not yet available.

Retain this notice in a prominent position, including in other related business units until supplies return to normal. Report any problems identified with medicines, vaccines or medical devices to the TGA.

Should you require further information regarding this matter, please contact Perrigo or your pharmacist at HPS Pharmacies.
