Azilect Shortage

It has come to our attention at PAI that there is a current shortage on the medication Azilect (Rasagiline) .

We are monitoring the  situation, have spoken with Parkinson’s Disease units nationwide and we are having ongoing communication with HPRA & relevant pharmaceutical companies. The current estimated return of supply is February 2024, at the earliest, as per pharmaceutical company.

As stated by the Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) website, the shortage is a result of an “unexpected increase in demand (multiple countries affected). Expected return date: 01/03/2024.”

If you have any concerns over your medication, please contact your Parkinson’s team, pharmacy or your GP.

We will continue to update you regarding this issue should we receive any more information.
