Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 January 2024
1590. Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Minister for Health the reason for the delay for pharmacies in County Donegal not receiving ipramol at the same time as other pharmacies in the South of Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [57082/23]
View answerTeva BV, the company responsible for supplying Ipramol to patients, has not notified the Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) of any shortages of Ipramol.
Additionally, the HPRA has verified with wholesalers that a significant delivery of Ipramol was received into Ireland on 19th December.
Any delays in receipt of Ipramol by pharmacies could be due to logistics delays and not from shortages of the product nationally.
