Mundipharma leaving the market
Mundipharma have advised that they are leaving the Aotearoa New Zealand market.
What Pharmac is doing
Pharmac is considering multiple options for products currently supplied by Mundipharma. We're reviewing each medicine to find the best solution. One option is using our annual tender process to find new suppliers for these treatments. We are updating this page with information about what is happening with each product.
We are working closely with Mundipharma and other suppliers to ensure as little disruption as possible for people using Mundipharma's products.
