What's happening
Solifenacin is currently affected by 6 active shortage reports filed with Health Canada by SANDOZ CANADA INCORPORATED, MANTRA PHARMA INC, ACCORD HEALTHCARE INC, SANIS HEALTH INC.
The reported causes are: delay in shipping of the drug; requirements related to complying with good manufacturing practices; 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.
Solifenacin is classified under “OTHER UROLOGICALS, INCL ANTISPASMODICS” (ATC G04BD).
