Antibiotics shortage in Australia
11 Jan 2023
Most of the shortages are caused by manufacturing issues or an unexpected increase in demand. Many of these medicines have alternatives available.
Your pharmacist or doctor may be able to give you a different brand. Where suitable Australian-registered alternatives are not available, the TGA has taken action to approve overseas-registered alternatives.
If you are unable to fill your antibiotic prescription, you should speak to your pharmacist or doctor as soon as possible about alternatives for your situation.
