ADHD medication shortage

This may mean you will find it difficult to get your child’s usual ADHD medications from pharmacies for the next few months.

In most cases a break from ADHD medication will be the best option, but if needed alternative medications can be considered.

Advice

Our advice is:

  • Check how much medication you have.
  • Make sure you order your next supply in plenty of time.
  • Only order medicine that you need, to help pharmacies manage supplies.
  • Try a few different pharmacies in your local area if you cannot obtain your prescription from your usual pharmacy.
