Drug shortage notice: Adcal D3 caplets

December 30, 2019

There is a current shortage of Adcal D3 caplets (750mg/5microg) with no likely date of re-supply available at the present time.

Adcal D3 chewable tablets (1.5g/10microg) are available as an alternative. Please be aware of the differing strength –  1 chewable tablet = 2 caplets. The usual treatment dose of Adcal D3 chewable tablets (1.5g/10microg)  is 1 tablet twice daily.

Prescriptions for Adcal D3 caplets (750mg/5microg) will therefore need to be changed to chewable tablets.

Note: When searching for Adcal on Unity, the chewable tablets (1.5g/10microg) can be found by entering ‘Adcal’ in the search box and clicking on the Advanced Search icon.
