HPS Pharmacies wish to give notice that Pfizer is experiencing a supply interruption for heparin as follows:
DBL™ Heparin Sodium Injection BP
Heparin Sodium 5,000IU/1mL
ARTG 12881
Supplies of DBL™ Heparin Sodium 5,000IU/1mL are currently constrained. However, HPS Pharmacies has sourced an internationally registered alternative which may be accessed via the Special Access Scheme (SAS), if necessary.
