Shortage history
Shortage history (red bands = periods in shortage).
Dextrose Chloride Magnesium Acetic Acid is currently affected by an active shortage report filed with Health Canada by VANTIVE ULC.
The reported cause is: 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.
Dextrose Chloride Magnesium Acetic Acid is classified under “HEMODIALYTICS AND HEMOFILTRATES” (ATC B05ZA).
