Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions she has had with relevant stakeholders on tackling shortages of Tegretol 100mg tablets.

We were aware of a shortage of Tegretol (carbamazepine) 100mg tablets which has now been resolved. We issued communications to the National Health Service advising on use of alternative Tegretol preparations. We worked closely with the manufacturer to resolve the issue.
