What's happening

Repaglinide is currently affected by 6 active shortage reports filed with Health Canada by JAMP PHARMA CORPORATION, TEVA CANADA LIMITED.

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.

Repaglinide is classified under “BLOOD GLUCOSE LOWERING DRUGS, EXCL. INSULINS” (ATC A10BX).
