Description
The market supply of adrenaline auto-injectors is being closely monitored by the Department of Health and Social Care. There are currently sufficient supplies overall to meet normal patient demand. However, due to the supply issues with some brands, it may be necessary to switch patients to an alternative brand that they may be unfamiliar with.
