Shortage history
Reports by product
What's happening
Atorvastatin Amlodipine is currently affected by 3 active shortage reports filed with Health Canada by BGP PHARMA ULC, MYLAN PHARMACEUTICALS ULC.
The reported causes are: disruption of the manufacture of the drug; demand increase for the drug. Manufacturers must report shortages, but end-date estimates are their own projections and often move.
If your usual product is affected, a pharmacist is the fastest route to a solution: they can dispense an unaffected manufacturer's equivalent when one exists, and in most provinces can adapt doses or substitute a therapeutic alternative without a new appointment.
Atorvastatin Amlodipine is classified under “LIPID MODIFYING AGENTS, COMBINATIONS” (ATC C10BX).
