As many CCS members may already be aware, Omega Laboratories is reporting a shortage of aminophylline due to a manufacturing disruption, leading to limited supplies being available in Canada &#8211; as well as an expected depletion of all supplies by May 2024. The shortage is expected to last until mid-July 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Canadian Cardiovascular Society and the Canadian Society of Cardiovascular Nuclear and CT Imaging (CNCT) have been actively engaged with Health Canada on this issue, and we are working together to ensure that addressing a shortage is a top priority. In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/health-canada\/services\/drugs-health-products\/drug-products\/drug-shortages\/information-consumers\/supply-notices\/aminophylline-short-supply.html\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">statement<\/mark><\/a><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"> <\/mark>issued on their website this week, Health Canada shared that they are working with the manufacturer and various stakeholders to monitor the supply of aminophylline in real time. Recently, Health Canada authorized the import of 10,000 ampoules of Greek-authorized aminophylline and is also looking at how alternate sources of this drug can be made available within Canada soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Update as of May 31, 2024: <\/strong>Health Canada has approved Septa Pharmaceuticals Inc. for exceptional importation and sale of Aminophylline Hydrate 25 mg\/mL Solution for Inj. The supply is now ready to order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Update as of April 26, 2024:<\/strong> Health Canada has approved the second proposal for foreign-authorized product. The total quantity authorized equates to just over four months\u2019 supply, and should be sufficient until the Canadian resupplies can be brought in. Both shipments are expected to arrive the week of April 29, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will continue to update you on this important issue as we learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions or concerns related to the ongoing aminophylline shortage, please contact <a href=\"mailto:communications@ccs.ca\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">communications@ccs.ca<\/mark><\/a>.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":135541,"template":"","news_type":[118],"news_topic":[506],"wf_news_folders":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Update on the Short Supply of Aminophylline in Canada - Canadian Cardiovascular Society<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ccs.ca\/news\/update-on-the-short-supply-of-aminophylline-in-canada\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Update on the Short Supply of Aminophylline in Canada - Canadian Cardiovascular Society\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Aminophylline is an injected pharmacologic agent that reverses the effects of medicines used during pharmacological stress tests.
