Teva 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 19thDecember.
Any delays in receipt of Ipramol by pharmacies could be due to logistics delays and not from shortages of the product nationally.
