Sanofi will be out of stock of clomifene (Clomid®) 50mg tablets from w/c 12 June 2023 until w/c 18 September 2023. Generic clomifene 50mg tablets remain available from Wockhardt who are able to partially uplift supplies until end of July 2023. If required, unlicensed supplies may be sourced.
If dispensing the unlicensed product the following guidance should be followed to ensure correct reimbursement:
Paper Prescriptions
If dispensing the unlicensed product on a paper prescription, the prescription should be written as ‘clomifene 50mg tablets (Special Order)‘. If not, reimbursement may only be made based upon the Drug Tariff VIIIA price. When searching for the product on ProScript Connect, the [SPECIAL ORDER] record should be selected from the picking list and the prescription should be endorsed with the standard non-Part VIIIB specials endorsements.
ETP Prescriptions
There is currently no listing on the DM+D Browser for the special order entry. Because of this you would currently be unable to endorse and be reimbursed for the special order product on an ETP prescription. If you did want to give the special order product, a paper prescription should be obtained and the above guidance followed.
