^T/CTEVA-CLOBAZAM 10 mg TABLETS SUPPLY

Teva Canada Limited is currently experiencing a backorder on ^T/CTEVA-CLOBAZAM 10 mg Tablets with an expected return to market in April 2025, as reported on Health Canada’s Drug Shortage Database01. The root cause of our backorder is linked to the complex international supply chain for the various components of the product including a delay in receiving the required active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) from our supplier in Europe. We continue to explore every option to speed its return to market.

^T/CTEVA-CLOBAZAM (clobazam) is indicated for adjunctive therapy in patients with epilepsy who are not adequately stabilized with their current anticonvulsant therapy02.

We are diligently working to expedite our return to the market recognizing the importance of this medicine to patients living with epilepsy. In the meantime, we recommend that patients consult with their healthcare professional to explore available treatment options.

At Teva Canada, we work together to help patients get the medicine they need. Our goal is to provide innovative treatments and quality generic and biosimilar medicines to the patients, families and communities we touch every day. Teva medicines are used to fill over 160,000 prescriptions daily03 in Canada and generated over $1.2 billion04 in healthcare system savings in 2023.
