NOTIFICATION OF PRODUCT DISCONTINUATION

Actavis announce the immediate discontinuation of Rapilysin 10 U powder and solvent for solution for injection.

 

There has been a movement therapeutically in the UK to either ambulatory or hospital determined PCI post suspected MI, and a subsequent reduction in the use of thrombolytic agents of this specific type.

 

Actavis announce the immediate discontinuation of Rapilysin 10 U powder and solvent for solution for injection.

 

There has been a movement therapeutically in the UK to either ambulatory or hospital determined PCI post suspected MI, and a subsequent reduction in the use of thrombolytic agents of this specific type.

 

This has resulted in a production batch size, which far exceeds the total UK annual demand and the drug is no longer commercially sustainable.  No further stock remains in the Actavis UK warehouse.

 

Please note other thrombolytic agents are available within the market and can be ordered through your normal route.
