The Department of Health and Social Care has advised that the Serious Shortage Protocol for fluoxetine 30mg capsules (SSP02) is being extended to 18 December 2019.
Please also note that this SSP has been changed, so pharmacists now supply fluoxetine 10mg capsules instead of tablets i.e. 1 x 10mg fluoxetine capsule, plus 1 x 20mg fluoxetine capsule.
The SSP for fluoxetine 40mg capsules (SSP03) expired yesterday, 21 November, as scheduled.
