I hear from my local endocrinologist that there is a
national (UK) shortage of synacthen following the sale of the product
to a smaller company following mergers involving Ciba-Geigy and Sandoz.
We have set up strict local guidelines to ensure existing supplies
are used wisely and these will remain in force until supplies
improve (end of March at the earliest).
You may be able to get more information from your local Pharmacist
but I thought this should be brought to the attention of as many UK
labs as possible. Please feel free to post this on other appropriate
mailbases. Thanks
