The shortage of medications is a current issue, and patients at Kempenhaeghe may also face this challenge. The neurologists at the Academic Center for Epileptology prescribe medication for outpatient clinic patients, but the delivery of these medications is managed by the in-house pharmacy.
What can you do in case of delivery issues or shortages of your epilepsy medication?
- Ask your pharmacy in advance whether the medication is in stock. The pharmacy has up-to-date information on any delivery issues or stock shortages.
- Make sure to request a repeat prescription on time (for example, a month in advance) to ensure that you have enough medication in stock.
- If delivery issues or stock shortages still occur, your pharmacist can always consult with your treating physician. Your physician will then attempt to find the best possible solution to the problem.
