What's happening

Hydrochlorothiazide Lisinopril is currently affected by 3 active shortage reports filed with Health Canada by SEARCHLIGHT PHARMA INC.

The reported causes are: other (please describe in comments); disruption of the manufacture of 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.

Hydrochlorothiazide Lisinopril is classified under “ACE INHIBITORS, COMBINATIONS” (ATC C09BA).
