Methylphenidate products: shortage and variable supply extended

08 Apr 2025

The shortage of Concerta modified-release tablets has now been extended until the end of 2026. This means there will still be times when supply is low or when some strengths are not available.

The sponsor has said that they will keep receiving supplies of Concerta, but the amounts will vary.

We will keep updating the About the shortage of methylphenidate hydrochloride products webpage and the Medicine Shortage Reports Database with the latest information.
