Description
Carbamazepine 100mg/5ml oral suspension sugar free from Accord is out of stock until mid-August 2024. Tegretol® (carbamazepine) 100mg/5ml liquid remains available but is unable to support an increase in demand. Please note, Novartis have issued communications regarding the sorbitol content of Tegretol® 100mg/5ml liquid and a change to the maximum daily dose. Tegretol® (carbamazepine) 100mg, 200mg and 400mg immediate release tablets remain available and can support an increase in demand. Only carbamazepine 100mg and 200mg immediate release tablets from Medreich remain available and can support an increase in demand. Carbamazepine 100mg and 200mg tablets from Crescent are out of stock until mid-August 2024 and therefore cannot support increased demand. See MSAN(2024)16 for further information and refer to the Medicines Supply Tool, on the Specialist Pharmacy Service (SPS) website, for the most up to date information and changes on resupply dates. Unlicensed supplies of carbamazepine 100mg/5ml oral suspension can be sourced from Specials manufacturers and specialist importers; lead times vary.
