Medication Shortages  

 

Due to the ongoing supply chain issues with Creon, if you have difficulty refilling your order of Creon, please seek advice from your CF team.

Alternative pancreatic enzyme replacement therapies are available on the Long-Term Illness card. However, you may need a prescription for these, so please direct queries to your CF team or pharmacist and ask for advice on a suitable, safe alternative for you.

You can check in on reported medicines shortages on HPRA medicines shortage list: https://www.hpra.ie/homepage/medicines/medicines-information/medicines-shortages/shortages-list

Should you have difficulty obtaining creon product or any other medication, please contact CFI Member Services patient advocate Rory Tallon who may be able to help you source supply.
