What's happening

Hydrochlorothiazide Valsartan is currently affected by 5 active shortage reports filed with Health Canada by AURO PHARMA INC.

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.

Hydrochlorothiazide Valsartan is classified under “ANGIOTENSIN II ANTAGONISTS, COMBINATIONS” (ATC C09DA).
