Medicines

We continue to work with our partners and stakeholders to review the supply of medicines to Ireland.

These include:

• the Department of Health
• the Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA)
• medicine manufacturers
• wholesalers
• pharmacists

Based on this, Ireland is unlikely to face general medicine supply issues now or in the near future.

In the unlikely event that issues for some supplies do happen, we are well placed to deal with them. We will continue to monitor the situation.

Prescriptions

Continue to fill your prescription as usual. You do not need to order extra medicines. This could disrupt stocks and reduce the supply of medicines for other patients.

If you have any concerns, please speak to your pharmacist or doctor.
