THE TGA has made a Serious Scarcity Substitution Instrument (SSSI) to manage the shortage of the antibiotic phenoxymethylpenicillin (Penicillin V).
The SSSI allows a pharmacist to offer to the patient or their carer an alternative phenoxymethylpenicillin oral liquid or suspension product when the prescribed one is unavailable; and phenoxymethylpenicillin 250mg capsules or 250mg tablets where the prescribed dose is divisible by 250mg.
The SSSI is in force from 17 Apr until 30 Sep.
