據路透社報道,輝瑞加拿大在內部審查後決定停止銷售Premarin陰道乳膏及三種劑量的口服片劑。公司稱決定並非源於新的安全性、療效或質量問題,且只適用於加拿大市場;醫院使用的Premarin靜脈製劑不在本次停售範圍內。

公司表示,自6月出現供應短缺的乳膏不會再獲新批次供應。0.3毫克、0.625毫克和1.25毫克片劑的現有庫存預計可維持至2027年年中,但若需求增加,可能更早售罄。這是庫存估計,不保證每家藥房在此之前都有貨。

加拿大部分雌二醇貼片也面臨供應限制。報道引述衛生部較早說明,Bayer及Sandoz某些劑量的間歇性短缺預計延續至2027年初。Premarin用於治療雌激素下降相關的更年期症狀;不同劑型及藥物並不能僅憑名稱自行互換,正在使用者應向藥劑師或處方醫生確認供應與替代方案。
