Drug Shortage: betahistine 8 mg, 16 mg and 24 mg tablets
Betahistine 8 mg, 16 mg and 24 mg tablets are on back order and supply may deplete prior to its return.
For the treatment of Meniere’s disease, a case by case assessment of alternatives and therapy will need to be discussed with prescribers.
Note: Retail pharmacies may have depleted or soon will deplete their on-hand supply. For patients receiving betahistine ensure that a supply is available at the patient’s community pharmacy prior to discharge.
Details regarding depletion of inventory will be communicated on a site-specific basis.
Thank you for your support of the ongoing efforts to manage drug supply issues. For questions, please contact your site pharmacy or Rizwan Ahmed or Libby Gair
