What's happening

Timolol Latanoprost is currently affected by 4 active shortage reports filed with Health Canada by MANTRA PHARMA INC, JAMP PHARMA CORPORATION, MYLAN PHARMACEUTICALS ULC, TEVA CANADA LIMITED.

The reported causes are: delay in shipping of the drug; demand increase for the drug; 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.

Timolol Latanoprost is classified under “ANTIGLAUCOMA PREPARATIONS AND MIOTICS” (ATC S01ED).
