Drug manufacture stopped

The shortages are caused by some products being found to contain a carcinogen Jaxjacky. The manufacturer’s licences have been removed until the problem is corrected. This applies to the whole of Europe.
Perhaps you could try to outsource some from America or Australia if you are desperate.

Sorry just googled the subject. USA is also affected.
Why not research NICE guidelines on the subject as apparently there are clinical alternatives available.

Esspee thanks for the information. The most common drug for AR is Omeprazole, or similar, unfortunately I’m one of the 1 in xxxx you read in the notes that has serious side effects. It drops my sodium to dangerous levels.

Is Omprazole affected too?

There are alternatives talk to your pharmacist My daughter takes it and another one she can’t take but the pharmacist found an alternative

This is why I have so much distrust in pharmaceutical companies how many people have been taking it regularly now to find there’s a carcinogen in some of them it beggars belief

Is Omprazole affected too?

No it isn’t. My GP found out that ranitidine was being stopped and stashed it for herself. She told me she was stuffed when she ran out... so cimetidine is being stopped too... bummer.

Omeprazole is one of the alternatives being offered so demand is much higher than supply. Some people have been stockpiling which, as we saw from this year’s toilet paper shortage, only exacerbates the situation.

Hope Omeprazole won't be affected, not for myself, but for my DH, who would be in big trouble without it.

BlueBelle I’d be interested in the alternative if you could find out please, thanks.
grandMattie yes, i was taken off Ranitadine beginning of this year.
