Drug safety notice: Diazepam

May 14, 2020

We are currently experiencing a long-term shortage of Diazepam (Diazemuls) 10mg/2ml emulsion for injection. An anticipated resupply date has not been confirmed but is expected after September. Unlicensed imports are not available. Recommended clinical alternatives are available however there are insufficient quantities of lorazepam 4mg/ml injection (Ativan) to meet additional demand to cover the supply issue of Diazemuls.

Please see Diazepam sheet for further details.

For more information please contact the pharmacy department (City ext. 5263, Sandwell ext. 3783).
