We have recently been informed that there is a production problem with the Imigran injections [subcutaneous sumatriiptan] made by GSK and that they will not be back in full production until January 2019. 

PLEASE NOTE: SUN PHARMA make the generic form of the injections under the name Sun Pharma - subcutaneous sumatriptan injections.  We are informed by the relevant section of Department of Health that Sun Pharma have plentiful supplies to take up the shortfall on the GSK injections.

As long as your prescription has the words 'subcutaneous sumatriptan' on it, your pharmacist can supply either GSK or Sun injections.
