Amiloride oral liquid: Supply issue

Reason for supply issue

The supplier has advised us that there has been a delay to the delivery of raw materials used to make amiloride oral liquid. Once the existing supply of amiloride oral liquid has been exhausted, there will be no stock available until at least the end of September 2021. 

Alternative products

Patients may be able to move to an alternative funded treatment. This should be done under the supervision (or on the advice) of a relevant specialist.
