We have just received the following email from the Department of Health in the UK: Dear Martyn, Thank you for your call; my apologies for the delay in sending you this message – As I explained, we are investigating the situation regarding supply of hydroxocobalamin injection and will get back to you with further information as soon as possible. In the interim, please find below a summary of the supply situation as we understand it. Supplies of generic hydroxocobalamin injection are currently limited as a result of manufacturing difficulties. We are working with the supplier of this product, Auden McKenzie, to help ensure that normal supplies resume as soon as possible. We have spoken to the suppliers of the two alternative branded versions of hydroxocobalamin and both have explained that they have stock available and that pharmacist should be able to obtain a supply from their wholesaler. I’ve copied the names of these two medicines along with the company that supplies them in the UK, below. Neo-cytamen injection – Focus Pharmaceuticals Cobalin H injection – Amdipharm Mercury Company I hope that this information is useful – We will keep you up to date with developments.
