What's happening

Mycophenolate Mofetil is currently affected by 4 active shortage reports filed with Health Canada by TEVA CANADA LIMITED, JAMP PHARMA CORPORATION, APOTEX INC.

The reported cause is: 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.

Mycophenolate Mofetil is classified under “IMMUNOSUPPRESSANTS” (ATC L04AA).
