Erelzi®
(etanercept) 50mg solution for injection in pre-filled pen will be out of stock
from early May until mid-July 2024. Homecare providers (Alcura, Healthnet and
Sciensus) have sufficient stock to supply existing patients until mid/late May
2024.
The supply issues have
been caused by a manufacturing failure resulting in delays in production and
the implementation of global allocations.
- Erelzi®
50mg pre-filled syringes (PFS) remain available, however, they cannot support a
full increase in demand.
- Benepali® (etanercept) 50mg solution for
injection in pre-filled pens remains available and can support a full increase
in demand on an ongoing basis.
- Enbrel® (etanercept) 50mg solution for
injection in pre-filled pens remain available and can support a full increase
in demand on an ongoing basis.
