Pyridostigmine Bromide
Question
Daisy Cooper
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has made an assessment of the adequacy of the availability of the prescription drug Pyridostigmine Bromide.
Answer
Supplies of pyridostigmine 60mg tablets are currently available. There was a recent short-term issue with supply of these products and we issued a National Patient Safety Alert advising the National Health Service on how to manage patients who required pyridostigmine 60mg tablets during this time. Supply of pyridostigmine oral solution remained available to meet additional demand. Currently one supplier is in stock and is available to meet national demand of this product. Alternative suppliers are currently out of stock but anticipate resupply in mid-July.
