What's happening
Tranexamic Acid is currently affected by 5 active shortage reports filed with Health Canada by OMEGA LABORATORIES LIMITED, SANDOZ CANADA INCORPORATED, JAMP PHARMA CORPORATION, SEARCHLIGHT PHARMA INC and 1 others.
The reported causes are: demand increase for the drug; requirements related to complying with good manufacturing practices; disruption of the manufacture of the drug; 5ml - estimated end date is unknown
10ml - estimated end date is unknown
20x5ml - estimated end date is unknown. 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.
Tranexamic Acid is classified under “ANTIFIBRINOLYTICS” (ATC B02AA).
