Oxycodone hydrochloride tabs controlled-release 5 mg: Supply issue resolved

Last Updated: 9 March 2021

We understand that the supplier has released the New Zealand-registered product for supply.

Sandoz has resupplied the NZ-registered product. There was no out of stock at the consumer level.

Sandoz had prepared a s29 alternative in case the product didn't arrive in time. We listed it in the Pharmaceutical Schedule in case it was needed (details below).

Details of alternative product sourced

Alternative product sourced

The supplier had sourced stock of an alternative Australian-registered product to cover the potential out of stock of the funded product. However this product was not required as the NZ registered product arrived before the supply issue reached patients.

We listed the alternative on the Pharmaceutical Schedule.
