SUN INJECTIONS USERS

SUN PHARMACEUTICALS SUMATRIPTAN INJECTIONS.

 

If you use the Sun Pharmaceuticals sumatriptan injections, please be aware that we have been informed their production site for the injections is being shut down for maintenance and the injections will not now be available until early 2016. However, we have been informed that Glaxo Smith Kline who also manufacture sumatriptan injections have sufficient supplies to meet the extra demand. If your prescription specifically states 'Sun injections' just ask your GP to amend it to 'sumatriptan injections' and the GSK ones can be substituted.

 

Any questions or queries on the above, please e-mail info@ouchuk.org or call the helpline: 01646 651979.

David,

GSK  made sumatriptan injections that we all used before the Sun Pharma ones. They are the ones you have to twist into the pen before injecting.

We've not yet heard anything, as soon as we know we'll be posting it on here and on the website and the FB page.
