Unavailable Medications

Occasionally medications approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) become unavailable. This can occur for four main reasons:

• The manufacturer has discontinued production as the consumer base is small and manufacture is unprofitable.
• The manufacturer has developed a new drug they believe to be superior to the older version.
• The drug is very popular and the manufacturer cannot keep up to demand.
• The manufacturer is having technical issues with producing the medication.
