TALK ADHD EMERGENCY MEDICATION SHORTAGE EPISODE


Listen Later

Yes, there is a shortage of ADHd medication in the UK.
Elvance and Gaufacine are affected. But all the media reports and people commenting on it are doing no more than fuelling the misunderstanding of why it's happening and what we can do. So, before this bonus episode Matt spoke to Takeda, who supply the medications to the wholesalers an in turn to pharmacies. This is what they had to say. Andrew shares his knowledge as a prescriber of what we can do to source the medication we need, why some doses are harder to get than others and what that means to us. No hyperbole. No scaremongering. Just evidence led information that we hope will help you.
