What this means

Does this mean my pharmacy is out of stock?

Not necessarily — a national shortage doesn't mean every pharmacy has run out. Some locations may still have stock, especially of a specific strength or pack size.

What should I do?

Health Canada classes this as a Tier 3 shortage, its highest-impact category. If you rely on this medication, talk to your pharmacist or care team now rather than waiting for your supply to run low.
