Update on clobazam supply problems in the UK ..

[EpilepsyAction1]

Update as of 21 August 201.

The Department of Health has updated us on the situation with clobazam supply problems in the UK.

Auden McKenzie has stopped making generic clobazam tablets and passed its licence to Accord Healthcare. Clobazam tablets made by Accord are currently available. Pharmacies should be able to get supplies from the wholesaler Alliance.

Due to the supply problems of Frisium,

Accord Healthcare, has made more supplies of generic clobazam available.
